Important information on your computer's
cooling fan
Your computer may have a CPU cooling fan that cools the
CPU by drawing outside air into the computer.
NOTE

Setting up your computer

Your computer contains a rechargeable main battery that
needs to be charged before you can use it.
To use external power or to charge the battery you must
attach the AC adaptor. See
on page
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have
adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating
when the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is
connected to a power outlet (even if your computer is in
Sleep mode). In this condition, observe the following:
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any
object.
Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat
source, such as an electric blanket or heater.
Never cover or block the air vents including those located
at the underside of the computer.
Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface.
Using your computer on a carpet or other soft material
can block the vents located at the underside of the
computer.
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause
system failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
The cooling fan location will vary depending on the
computer.
TECHNICAL NOTE: You must complete all setup steps
up to and including
page 42 before adding external or internal components
to your computer. These components include, but are
not limited to, a mouse, keyboard, and printer.
