Maintaining Your Hardware

Your notebook is designed as a durable product. To maintain its performance and promote longevity, follow these guidelines:

Carry and store your notebook in a portable carrying case.

ÄCAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the display, do not place anything on top of the notebook even when it is in the carrying case.

Keep Zip disks, diskettes and modular disk drives away from magnetic fields, which can erase your data.

Keep liquids and excessive moisture away from your notebook and keyboard to prevent costly repairs.

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to internal components, do not allow liquids to drip into the notebook keyboard.

Avoid exposing your notebook to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or ultraviolet light for extended periods of time.

Use your notebook only on a solid, flat surface. Make sure that vents, which cool internal components, are unobstructed.

ÄCAUTION: To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the vents. Do not allow a hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft surface, such as fabric or carpet, to block the airflow.
