Areas with electronic equipment
These areas may interfere with your display or cause your computer to produce
strange sounds.
Areas with extremely high/low temperatures

the computer may become warm.
zThis computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the LCD and hard disk
drive, etc., but no warranty is provided against such trouble. Therefore, as a preci-
sion instrument, be extremely careful in the handling.
zDo not drop or hit your computer against solid objects.
zDo not carry your computer when the power is on.
zRemove all external devices, cables, and PC Cards sticking out of the computer
(see the figure on the left) before transporting the computer.
zWe recommend preparing a fully charged battery.
When transporting a spare battery inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recom-
mended that it be placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are protected.
zDo not carry the computer while the display is open, or carry it by gripping the dis-
play.
zDo not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the display and keyboard.

computer inside an aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines regarding their policy
on this issue.

zDo not leave a disk in the drive while transporting your computer.
