Safety Information
Computer
❑ Use your computer on a solid, stable surface.
❑ Provide adequate air circulation to prevent internal overheating. Do not place your computer on porous surfaces such as
rugs, blankets, couches, beds, or near draperies that may block its air vents.
❑ Do not use your computer directly on your lap. The temperature of the base of the unit will rise during normal operation
and over time could result in discomfort or burns.
❑ Use only specified peripheral equipment and interface cables.
❑ The temperature of the surface and the bottom of your computer, the AC adapter, and the battery pack may rise due to
the CPU load or an electric current generated while the battery pack is being charged. This is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction. The amount of heat generation varies depending on external devices or software in use.
❑ High precision devices are installed at the center of the base unit. If tasks which cause heavy loads to such devices are
continued for a long time, the temperature at the bottom center of your computer may rise. In such a case, do not hold
the bottom of the computer for an extended period of time, as it may cause low-temperature burns.
❑ When the temperature of the CPU rises due to heavy loads on your computer system, the CPU speed decreases. This
is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. Because the computer is designed to cool down itself without using heat-
reducing fans, it automatically decreases the CPU speed or the voltage or turns off unused devices for decreasing the
amount of heat generation.
