Dust buildup compounds problems associated with glare. Remember to
clean your monitor screen periodically using a soft cloth moistened with a
nonabrasive liquid glass cleaner.
Air circulation
Your computer and monitor produce heat. The computer has a fan that
pulls in fresh air and forces out hot air. The monitor lets hot air escape
through vents. Blocking the air vents can cause overheating, which might
result in a malfunction or damage. Place the computer and monitor so that
nothing blocks the air vents; usually, 51 mm (2 in.) of air space is sufficient.
Also, make sure the vented air is not blowing on someone else.
Electrical outlets and cable lengths
The location of electrical outlets and the length of power cords and cables
that connect to the monitor, printer, and other devices might determine the
final placement of your computer.
When arranging your workspace:
Avoid the use of extension cords. Whenever possible, plug the
computer power cord directly into an electrical outlet.
Keep power cords and cables neatly routed away from walkways and
other areas where they might be kicked accidentally.
For more information about power cords, see “Power cord notice” on
page 160.
