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 PC 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 PC is in Standby mode). In this condition,
observe the following:
❖
Never cover your PC or AC adaptor with any object.
❖
Never place your PC or AC adaptor near a heat
source, such as an electric blanket or heater.
❖
Never block the air vents.
❖
Always operate your PC on a hard surface. Using
your PC on a carpet or other soft material can block
the vents.
Overheating your PC or AC adaptor could cause system
failure, PC 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
