Heat Considerations

The computer's processor has been specially designed to consume little power, and generates very little heat. However, working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature. Your computer takes the following steps to lower temperature:

1.The cooling fan will automatically turn on. You may feel air coming from a vent at the left side when this happens.

2.If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this happens.
