General Precautions

PC card overheating

Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a PC

card can result in errors or instability in the PC card operation. Also be

careful when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long time.

Mobile phone

Use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. Computer

operation is not impaired but it is recommended that a distance of 30 cm be

maintained between the computer and a mobile phone in use.
