ÄCAUTION: To properly ventilate the tablet PC, allow at least a 7.6-cm (3-inch) clearance on the left and right sides of the tablet PC.

The tablet PC uses an electric fan for ventilation. The fan is controlled by a temperature sensor and is designed to be turned on automatically when high temperature conditions exist. These conditions are affected by high external temperatures, system power consumption, power management/battery conservation configurations, battery fast charging, and software applications. Exhaust air is displaced through the ventilation grill located on the left side of the tablet PC.
