Protecting Your Computer - Avoid Abusive Handling and

Following the advice below will help ensure that you get the most out of

your investment.

Your computer will serve you well if you take good care of it:

Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight or place it near

sources of heat.

Do not subject it to temperatures below 0oC (32oF) or above

Do not spill water or liquid on the computer.

Do not subject the computer to adverse shock and vibration.

Do not expose the computer to dust and dirt.

Do not place objects on top of the computer in order to avoid

damaging the computer.

Do not place the computer on rocky surfaces.

Here are some ways of taking care of your AC adapter.

Do not connect the adapter to any devices other than your

computer.

Do not block the ventilation airway of the adapter.

Keep the adapter in a cool and ventilated place.

Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on top of it.
