General conditions

In general, if you are comfortable, so is your computer, but read the following to make sure your work site provides a proper environment.

■Make sure there is adequate space around the computer for proper ventilation.

■Make sure the AC power cord connects to an outlet that is close to the computer and easily accessible.

■The temperature should be 5 to 35 degrees Centigrade (41 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity should be 20 to 80 percent.

■Avoid areas where rapid or extreme changes in temperature or humidity may occur.

■Keep the computer free of dust, moisture, and exposure to direct sunlight.

■Keep the computer away from heat sources, such as electric heaters.

■Do not use the computer near liquids or corrosive chemicals.

■Some components in the computer, including data storage media, can be damaged by magnets. Do not place the computer near magnetic objects or bring magnetic objects close to the computer. Be careful of objects, such as stereo speakers, that produce strong magnetic fields during operation. Also, be careful with metal objects, such as bracelets, which can be inadvertently magnetized.

■Do not operate the computer in close proximity to a mobile phone.

■Leave ample ventilation room for the fan. Ensure that there are no obstructions around any of the system inlets or exhaust vents.
