Important

mUse the computer only in environments where the temperature range> is between 50°F/10°C and 104°F/40°C.

mDo not expose the computer to very low (less than –13°F/–25°C) or very high (more than 140°F/60°C) temperatures.

mIf the computer has been in a cold place for several hours, let it warm up to room temperature before you use it.

mClean the computer’s outside surfaces with a damp (not wet) cloth. Clean the screen with soft, lint-free paper or cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Do not spray the glass cleaner directly onto the screen.

Caring for batteries

mDo not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Doing so may cause an explosion or a fire.

mDo not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate, or incinerate the battery.

mRecharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.

mDo not leave batteries in hot locations (such as the trunk of a car).

mDo not leave a battery in your computer for longer than a week without plugging in the power adapter.

mDo not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.
