Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static

damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s

electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by touching an unpainted

metal surface on the computer chassis.

As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to

remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

• Do not remove components from their antistatic packing material until you are ready to

install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging,

discharge static electricity from your body.

• When transporting an electrostatic sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic

container or packaging.

• Handle all electrostatic sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use

antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

Ergonomic Computing Habits

CAUTION: Improper or prolonged keyboard use may result in injury.

CAUTION: Viewing the monitor screen for extended periods of time may result in

eye strain.

For comfort and efficiency, observe the ergonomic guidelines in your User’s Guide when setting

up and using your computer.

Battery Disposal

Your computer uses a lithium-coin cell battery. The lithium-ion battery is a long-life battery,

and it is very possible that you will never need to replace it. However, should you need to

replace it, see your User’s Guide.

Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact your local waste disposal

agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.
