Preventive Maintenance

Keep your Notebook away from extreme temperatures (for example, in parked cars, near heaters, or near open windows). Extreme temperatures can damage your Notebook or cause it to perform poorly.

Use your Notebook only on a solid, flat surface and make sure that no walls or objects are close enough to the vents to reduce airflow.

Don’ts

Bump or drop your Notebook.

Put objects on top of it. Even if your Notebook is stored in a durable carrying case, it is not made to support extra weight.

Leave the CD/DVD drive door open when it is not in use. The door can be damaged.

Handle liquids around your Notebook. Exposure to almost any liquid can result in expensive repairs that are not covered under your warranty.

Expose your Notebook to dusty or dirty environments. Dust and dirt can clog internal components and mechanisms.

Place the Notebook on surfaces that may block the vents on the side or bottom of the unit, such as towels, carpeting, and so on.
