• Notes concerning handling
• Power switch
The power switch should be left untouched for at least 10 seconds after being turned on or off.
This is necessary to ensure correct operation of the computer. Do not unplug the power cable when
the power switch is on: otherwise, trouble may result.
• Power cable
Avoid placing heavy objects such as desks on top of the power cable. This may damage the power
cable, possibly resulting in a serious accident. Be sure to grasp the cable by the plug when unplugging
it.
• Power supply voltage
The power supply voltage is 240/220 VAC. The computer may not operate properly if the voltage
is too high or too low. Contact your dealer for assistance if you experience this problem.
• Ventilation
Many vents are provided in the cabinet to prevent overheating. Place the computer in a well ventilat-
ed place, and do not cover it with a cloth. Do not place any objects on the left side of the computer,
since this is where the vents for the power supply unit are located.
• Humidity and dust
Do not use the computer in a damp or dusty places.
• Temperature
Do not place the computer near heaters or in places where it may be exposed to direct sunlight;
failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the computer's components.
• Water and foreign substances
Water and other foreign substances (such as pins) entering the computer will damage it. Unplug
the power cable immediately and contact your dealer for assistance if such an accident occurs.
• Shock
Avoid subjecting the computer to shock; strong shocks will damage the computer permanently.
• Trouble
Stop immediately operation and contact your dealer if you note any abnormality.
• Prolonged disuse
Be sure to unplug the power cable if the computer is not to be used for a prolonged period of time.
• Connection of peripheral devices
Use only parts and components designated by Sharp when connecting any peripheral devices, other-
wise, the computer may be damaged.
• Dirt
Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth soaked in water or detergent when it becomes dirty. To avoid
discoloration of the cabinet, do not use volatile fluids such as benzene.
