Provide adequate ventilation
■Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your computer is in Sleep Mode). In this condition, observe the following:
■Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object.
■Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source, such as anelectric blanket or heater.
■Never cover or block the air vents including those located at the base of the computer.
■Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Using your computer on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents.
■Always provide sufficient space around the computer.
■Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.
