Chapter 6. Safety, use, and care information

When the AC adapter is connected to an electrical outlet and your computer, it generates heat. Do not place the adapter in contact with any part of your body while using it. Never use the AC adapter to warm your body. Extended contact with your body, even through clothing, may cause a skin burn.

For your safety, always follow these basic precautions with your computer:

Keep the cover closed whenever the computer is plugged in.

Regularly inspect the outside of the computer for dust accumulation.

Remove dust from vents and any perforations in the bezel. More frequent cleanings might be required for computers in dusty or high- traffic areas.

Do not restrict or block any ventilation openings.

Do not operate your computer inside furniture, as this might increase the risk of overheating.

Airflow temperatures into the computer should not exceed 35° C (95° F).
