Other precautions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Handling the LCD Screen

 

 

￿

Do not leave the LCD facing the sun as it can damage the LCD. Be careful when

 

using the computer near a window.

 

 

￿

Do not scratch the LCD or exert pressure on it. This could cause malfunction.

￿

Using the computer in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image

 

on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the computer returns to normal

 

temperature, the screen returns to normal.

 

 

￿

A residual image may appear on the screen if the same image is displayed for a

 

lengthy period of time. The residual image disappears in a while. You can use a

 

screen saver to prevent residual images.

 

 

￿

The screen becomes warm during operation. This is normal and does not indicate

 

a malfunction.

 

 

￿

The LCD is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see

 

tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that continuously

 

appear on the LCD. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does

 

not indicate a malfunction.

 

 

On the Power Source

 

 

￿

Your computer operates on 100V-240V AC 50/60 Hz.

 

 

￿

Do not share the AC outlet with other power-consuming equipment, such as a

 

copying machine or shredder.

 

 

￿

You can purchase a power strip with a surge protector. This device prevents

 

damage to your computer caused by sudden power surges such as those that may

 

occur during an electrical storm.
