Getting Started
This chapter provides tips for working comfortably,
summarizes how to connect components, and explains what
to do the first time you use your notebook computer.

Selecting a place to work

Your computer is portable and designed to be used in a
variety of circumstances and locations.

Creating a computer-friendly environment

Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for
the computer and any other items you are using, such as a
printer. Leave enough space around the computer and other
equipment to provide adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they
may overheat.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect
your work area from:
Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight
Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field,
such as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are
connected to the computer) or speakerphones
