Disconnect your system from telephone and power lines
when an electrical storm threatens. If you have a
fax/modem, lightning can travel in on the phone line and
damage both the fax/modem and the system unit.
Lightning can also travel in on power lines and damage
your monitor and system unit.

Be sure that system power is off before you connect or
disconnect a cable. Never make cable changes when the
system power is on. To do so could damage your system

Use appropriate virus detection software regularly to
protect your system from computer viruses.
If you plan to use software programs other than
NECCSD-supplied software, NECCSD strongly
recommends that you take the necessary steps, such as
virus checks, to protect your system.
Use Setup options to set up an automatic reminder to
run a virus check (see "Power Menu" in Chapter 4).
