Computer

❑Use your computer on a solid, stable surface.
❑Provide adequate air circulation to prevent internal overheating. Do not place your computer on porous surfaces such as
rugs, blankets, couches, beds, or near draperies that may block its air vents.
❑It is recommended that you do not use your computer directly on your lap. The temperature of t he base of the unit may
rise during normal operation and over time could re sult in discomfort or burns.
❑Use only specified peripheral equipment and interface cables.
❑The temperature of the surface and the bottom of your computer, the AC adapter, and the battery pack may rise due to
the CPU load or an electric current generated while the b attery pack is being charged. This is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction. The amount of heat generation varies dep ending on external devices or software in use.
❑High precision devices are installed at the center of the base unit. If tasks which caus e heavy loads to such devices are
continued for a long time, the temperature at the bottom center of your computer may rise. In su ch a case, do not hold
the bottom of the computer for an extended period of time, as it may cause low-temperature burns.
❑When the temperature of the CPU rises due to heavy loads on your compu ter system, the CPU speed decreases. This
is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. Because the compu ter is designed to cool down itself without using heat-
reducing fans, it automatically decreases the CPU speed or the voltage or tur ns off unused devices for decreasing the
amount of heat generation.
