7. Remarks
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. When you pull out the plug from the socket, grip
the plug to avoid damaging the cord, thereby reducing the risk of fire or electric shock.
• Close all covers and trays, including the front cover and bypass tray.
• Keep the machine level and carry it carefully, taking care not to jolt or tip it. Rough handling
may cause a malfunction or damage the hard disk or memory, resulting in loss of stored files.
• Do not take off the holding stand.
• Protect the machine from strong shocks. Impact can damage the hard disk and cause stored files
to be lost. As a precautionary measure, files should be copied to another computer.

Optimum environmental conditions
This section describes precautions when locating the machine.
• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might occur.
7
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might occur.
• After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise the machine might
move or come down to cause an injury.
• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good
ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.
• Do not expose the machine to salt-bearing air or corrosive gases. Also, do not locate the machine
in environments where chemical experiments are performed, such as in a laboratory. Doing so
could result in malfunction.
• Machine sound levels exceeding LWAd > 63 dB (A) are not suitable for desk work environments,
so place the machine in another room.
