Selecting a location

Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following points when
looking for a location:
Do not place it on a soft surface (e.g., a carpet or soft furnishings). The space between the
notebook's feet must be clear. Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surfac e. In view
of the multitude of different finishes used on furniture, it is possible that the rubber f eet of the
notebook will mark the surface they stand on.
Never place the notebook and the power adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
The notebook and the power adapter should be at least 200 mm apart.
Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its power adapter to ensure adequate
ventilation.
Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the notebook or the power adapter.
Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect the notebook from
dust, humidity, and heat.
For wireless data transfer, you must align the notebook's infrared interface with that of the
partner device (e.g. PC). The devices must not be more than one metre apart.
