Taking Care of the Computer

Location Guidelines

For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended
temperature is between 10 °C (50 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F) – actual
operating temperature depending on product specifications.
Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity,
extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy
dust.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For
example, do not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in
damage to the computer.
Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical
appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV,
refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker.
Avoid moving the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A
temperature difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) may cause
condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
Do not place the computer on an unsteady surface.

General Guidelines

Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer when it is closed as
this may damage the display.
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to
clean the display but use the included soft cloth. Avoid touching it
with your fingers, pen, or pencil.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the
backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management.
Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the power
management from working.
