The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged.
To ensure that does not happen, follow these suggestions:
1.
Don't drop it.
Make sure its on a stable surface. If the computer
falls, the case and other components could be damaged.
2.
Don't overheat it.
Keep the computer and power supply away
from any kind of heating element. Keep the computer out of
direct sunlight.
3.
Avoid interference.
Keep the computer away from high capac-
ity transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields.
These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
4.
Keep it dry
. This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other
liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.
5.
Be careful with power.
The computer has specific power re-
quirements.
Only use a power adapter approved for use with this com-
puter.
Your AC adapter may be designed for international travel but
it still requires a steady, uninterrupted power supply. If you are
unsure of your local power specifications, consult your dealer or
local power company.
The power adapter may have either a 2-prong or 3-prong
grounded plug. This is an important safety feature; do not defeat
its purpose. If you do not have access to a compatible outlet,
have a qualified electrician install one.
When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to discon-
nect it by the plug head, not by its wire.
