On handling your computer

Handle the unit carefully while lifting, holding the unit by the bottom only. Do not attempt to lift the unit by using the floppy disk drive as a carry point.

Clean the unit with a soft cloth, which is either dry or lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine, as these may damage the finish of your computer.

Should you drop a solid object or any liquid onto the computer, shut down your computer and then unplug it. You may want to have the computer checked by qualified personnel before operating it again.

Do not drop the computer or place heavy objects on top of the computer.

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

An ambient temperature of more than 35ºC or less than 10ºC

High humidity.

Do not place electronic equipment near your computer. The electromagnetic field of your computer may cause a malfunction.

Provide adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat from building up. Do not place your computer on porous surfaces such as rugs or blankets, or near material such as curtains or draperies that may block its ventilation slots.
