Getting Started
This chapter provides tips for using your computer effectively,
summarizes how to connect components, and explains what to do
the first time you use your computer.
The “Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort,” that is shipped
with your computer, contains important safety information. Please
read the safety instructions carefully and make sure you fully
understand the instructions before you attempt to use your
computer in order to avoid potential hazards that could cause bodily
injury, property damage, or damage the computer.

Selecting a place to work

Your computer is portable and designed to be used in a variety of
circumstances and locations.
Setting up a work environment
Place the computer on a hard flat surface that is large enough for the
computer and any other items you are using, such as a printer.
Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to
provide adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat. Read
the “Provide adequate ventilation” section in the “Instruction
Manual for Safety and Comfort” that is shipped with your
computer.
