glare. Proper lighting adds to your comfort and work effectiveness.
❑Placement of an external display — When using an external display, set
the display at a comfortable viewing distance. Make sure the display screen
is at eye level or slightly lower when you are sitting in front of the monitor.
Notes on Setup

Setting Up Your Notebook

❑Do not place your computer in a location subject to:
❑Heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts
❑Direct sunlight
❑Excessive dust
❑Moisture or rain
❑Mechanical vibration or shock
❑Strong magnets or speakers that are not magnetically shielded
❑Ambient temperature of more than 95º F (35º C) or less than
40º F (5º C)
❑High humidity
❑Do not place electronic equipment near your computer. The computer’s
electromagnetic field may cause a malfunction.
❑Provide adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not
place your computer on porous surfaces such as rugs or blankets, or near
materials such as curtains or draperies that may block its ventilation slots.
Leave a space of at least 8 inches behind the back panel of the computer.
❑The computer uses high-frequency radio signals and may cause interference
to radio or TV reception. Should this occur, relocate the computer a suitable
distance away from the set.
❑Use only specified peripheral equipment and interface cables; otherwise,
problems may result.
