Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines

For optimal performance, use the com-
puter where the recommended tempe-
rature is between 0 C (32 F) and 55 C
(131 F) – actual operating temperature
depending on product specifications.

Avoid placing the computer in a location
subject to high humidity, extreme tempe-
ratures, mechanical vibration, direct sun-
light, or heavy dust. Using in extreme
environments for long periods can result
in product deterioration and a shortened
product life.

Operating in an environment with metallic
dust is not allowed.

Place the computer on a flat and steady
surface. Do not stand the computer on its
side or store it in an upside-down position.
A strong impact by dropping or hitting
may damage the computer.

Do not cover or block any ventilation
openings on the computer. For example,
do not place the computer on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise,
overheating may occur that results in
damage to the computer.

As the computer can become very hot
during operation, keep it away from
objects that are vulnerable to heat.

Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches)
away from electrical appliances that can
generate a strong magnetic field such as a
TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio
speaker.

Avoid moving the computer abruptly from
a cold to a warm place. A temperature
difference of more than 10 C (18 F) may
cause condensation inside the unit, which
may damage the storage media.

General Guidelines


Do not expose your skin to the computer
when operating it in a very hot or cold
environment.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the
computer as this may damage the display.
