Dust compounds problems associated with glare. Clean your monitor screen
periodically using a soft cloth moistened with a nonabrasive, liquid glass cleaner.
Air circulation
Your computer and monitor produce heat. The computer fan pulls in fresh air and
forces out hot air. The monitor lets hot air escape through vents. Blocking the air
vents can cause overheating, possibly resulting in malfunction or damage. Place the
computer and monitor so that nothing blocks the air vents; usually 50 mm (2 in.) of
air space is sufficient. Also, make sure the vented air is not blowing on someone
else.
Electrical outlets and cable lengths
The location of electrical outlets and the length of device power cords and cables
might determine the final placement of your computer.
When arranging your work space:
v Avoid the use of extension cords. Whenever possible, plug the computer power
v Keep power cords and cables neatly routed away from walkways and other areas
For more information about power cords, see "Power cords" on page 68.
Moving the stabilizing feet
The two front feet on the bottom of the computer rotate 90 degrees to provide
additional stability when the computer is in an upright position.
Attention:
you might find it easier to lay the computer on its side. If you do so, ensure that the
feet are turned inward toward the computer to avoid breaking the feet.
