first things first

Do not obstruct the air vents on the notebook or use it on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.

The air vents are necessary for proper airflow and cooling of your notebook. If these air vents are blocked, your notebook may overheat.

Do not work for long periods with the notebook resting on your lap.

The air vents may become blocked, causing the temperature of the notebook to increase to a point where it may be harmful to your skin.

Keep your computer a safe distance away from sources of magnetic fields, such as cellular phones and external speakers.

Magnetic fields can disrupt the information on hard drives.

Use only a soft cloth, moistened with water, to clean your notebook.

Do not use household chemicals to clean your notebook; they may damage it.

Use only recommended upgrade or replacement parts and accessories.

Other than the indicated user-replaceable components, your notebook should be serviced by an authorized technician.

When using your modem:

Use only Number 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

During an electrical storm, disconnect modem/telephone cables and do not use your modem. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Never install modem/telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jacks are specifically designed for wet locations.

Never touch uninsulated modem/telephone wires or terminals unless the modem/telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
