WARNING
Turning off your computer where electronic devices are
regulated or controlled
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always completely
shut down the computer. This includes turning off any wireless
communication switches or devices, and canceling settings that reactivate
the computer automatically, such as a timer recording function. Failure to
completely shut down the computer in this way could allow the operating
system to reactivate and run pre-programmed tasks or preserve unsaved
data, which could interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly causing
serious injury.
Provide adequate ventilation
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:

Swallowing a small part may cause choking and suffocation resulting in
death or serious injury. If a part is swallowed, immediately take
appropriate emergency action and consult a doctor.
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 material can block the vents.
