Using an Anti-Virus Strategy
New viruses are always being developed nowadays and they are attacking computers even more easily with emails so
commonly used worldwide.
The security feature of the BIOS protects the boot sector of the hard disk. To enable the function, see “Security Menu” in
Chapter 5 for instructions.
You can also install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could damage your files.
Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines
* Use the computer where the temperature is between 10 ?C (50 ?F) and 35 ?C (95 ?F).
* 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.
* Do not move the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature difference of more than 10 ?C (18 ?F)
will 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. 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.
