Places not to use your computer
Such areas may result in damage to the computer.
Areas with electronic equipment
These areas may interfere with your display or
cause your computer to produce strange sounds.
Areas with extremely high/low temperatures
Do not leave things near the computer that are sensitive to heat. During opera-
tion, the computer may become warm.
This computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the LCD and hard disk
drive, the leakage of liquid (e.g., water) from the keyboard, etc., but no warranty is pro-
vided against such trouble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, please be extremely
careful in the handling.
Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects.
Do not stand the computer on its side or allow it to tip over. When the computer receives
extremely strong shock after falling, the hard disk or floppy disk drive, etc., may become
inoperable.
Do not carry your computer when it is ON.
Remove all cables before transporting your computer.
We recommend preparing a fully charged battery (and optional charger, if possible).
When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended
that the batteries be stored in a plastic bag.
Do not place the computer upright. When the computer receives extremely strong shock
after falling, the hard disk or floppy disk drive, etc., may become inoperable.
Do not carry the computer while the display is open, or carry it by gripping the display.
Do not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the display and keyboard.
Always carry your computer with you. Never check it in with luggage. For use of the
computer inside an aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines regarding their policy on
this issue.
<When using the SuperDisk drive>
It is a good idea to make backup copies on disks and carry them with you.
Do not leave a disk in the drive while transporting your computer.
