Setting up your computer

NOTE
Setting up your computer
Your computer contains a rechargeable main battery that
needs to be charged before you can use it.
To use external power or to charge the battery you must
attach the AC adaptor. See
on page
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have
adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating when
the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is connected to
a power outlet (even if your computer is in Standby mode). In
this condition, observe the following:
• Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any
object.
• Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat
source, such as an electric blanket or heater.
• Never block the air vents.
• Always operate your computer on a hard surface.
Using your computer on a carpet or other soft mate-
rial can block the vents.
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system
failure, computer or AC adaptor damage, or a fire, possibly
resulting in serious injury.
The cooling fan location will vary depending on the computer.
TECHNICAL NOTE: You must complete all setup steps up to
and including "Setting up your software" on page 45
