To prevent overheating, do not
obstruct vents. Use the computer
only on a hard, flat surface. Do
not allow another hard surface,
such as an adjoining optional
printer, or a soft surface, such as
pillows or thick rugs, or clothing,
to block airflow.
✎
The computer fan starts up
automatically to cool internal

✎
To prevent an unresponsive
system and the display of a
warning message, replace only
with a Mini Card device
authorized for use in the
computer by the governmental
agency that regulates wireless
devices in your country. If you
replace the device and then
receive a warning message,
remove the device to restore
computer functionality. Then
contact Customer Care through
the Help and Support Center.
