Precautions
Your computer is designed to provide optimum safety and
ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel. You should
observe certain precautions to further reduce the risk of
personal injury or damage to the computer.
❖Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside or
surface of the computer.
Never allow any liquids to spill into any part of your
computer, and never expose the computer to rain, water,
seawater or moisture. Exposure to liquid or moisture can
cause electric shock or fire, resulting in damage or
serious injury. If any of these eventualities should
accidentally occur, immediately:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power plug
socket and computer.
3. Remove the battery pack, if applicable.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
injury or permanent damage to the computer.
Do not turn on the power again until you have taken the
computer to an authorized service center.
❖Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside
or surface of the computer.
❖Computer base and palm rest can become hot! Avoid
prolonged contact to prevent heat injury to skin.
Today’s performance computers generate heat under normal
operating conditions, as a function of system activity. Avoid
extended contact between the computer base or palm rest
and your skin. Under certain operating conditions such
prolonged contact between the computer base or palm rest
and your skin may result in skin irritation and/or heat injury.
