The device is unusually warm

It is normal for the device to feel warm to the touch while it is in use. But if the device feels
unusually warm, it may be overheating because a vent is blocked.
If you suspect that the device is overheating, allow the device to cool to room temperature.
Then be sure to keep all vents free from obstructions while you are using the device.
WARNING: To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of overheating the
Å
device, do not place the device directly on your lap or obstruct the device air vents.
Use the device 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 rugs or
clothing, to block airflow. Also, do not allow the AC adapter to contact the skin or a
soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, during operation. The device and
the AC adapter comply with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined
by the International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment
(IEC 60950).
The fan in the device starts up automatically to cool internal components and prevent
overheating. It is normal for the internal fan to cycle on and off during operation.
