WARNING! Avoid excessive heat build-up with your notebook.

To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of overheating the notebook computer, do not place the computer directly on your lap or obstruct the computer air vents. Use the computer only on a hard, flat surface. Do not allow another hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, to block airflow. Also, do not allow the AC adapter to contact the skin or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, during operation. The computer and the AC adapter comply with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment (IEC 60950).

WARNING! Be aware of pain or discomfort.

Read and follow the recommendations in this Safety & Comfort Guide to minimize the risk of pain and discomfort and to increase your comfort.
