Chapter 1
Getting Started
This chapter provides tips for using your computer effectively,
summarizes how to connect components, and explains what to do
the first time you use your computer.
The “Safety Instruction Manual,” that is shipped with your
computer, contains important safety information. Please read the
safety instructions carefully and make sure you fully understand the
instructions before you attempt to use your computer in order to
avoid potential hazards that could cause bodily injury, property
damage, or damage the computer.
Setting up a work environment
Place the computer on a hard flat surface that is large enough for the
computer and any other items you are using, such as a printer.
Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to
provide adequate ventilation.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your
work area from:
❖
Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.
❖
Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such
as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to
the computer) or speakerphones.
