Maintaining Your Hardware

Your notebook is designed as a durable product. To maintain its
performance and promote longevity, follow these guidelines:
■
Carry and store your notebook in a portable carrying case.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the display, do not place
anything on top of the notebook even when it is in the carrying case.
■
Keep Zip disks, diskettes, and modular disk drives away from
magnetic fields, which can erase your data.
■
Keep liquids and excessive moisture away from your
notebook and keyboard to prevent costly repairs.
Å
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to internal
components, do not allow liquids to drip onto the notebook keyboard.
■
Avoid exposing your notebook to direct sunlight, extreme
temperatures, or ultraviolet light for extended periods of time.
■
Use your notebook only on a solid, flat surface. Make sure
that vents, which cool internal components, are unobstructed.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the vents. Do not
allow a hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft
surface, such as fabric or carpet, to block the airflow.
