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.

■Select a work area that has:

■a well-designed and functioning ventilation system that does not forcefully direct air on you

■good air circulation

■a comfortable ambient temperature and relative humidity.

■Never place your PC where it will be exposed to excess heat, such as in direct sunlight, an unventilated vehicle or near a heater. This may result in a system failure, malfunction, loss of data or damage to PC.

■Never place your PC in a location where it will be exposed to extremely low temperatures. This may result in a system failure, malfunction or loss of data.

■Never subject your PC to sudden temperature variations. This may result in condensation, causing a system failure, malfunction or loss of data.

■Do not expose your PC to dusty environments. If dust gets inside the PC, it could cause a system failure, malfunction or loss of data. If dust contaminates the PC, do not turn on the power. Take it to an authorized Toshiba service provider before you use it.

■Never place your PC near an object that generates a magnetic field, such as a speaker or TV. Do not wear magnetic bracelets while using your PC. Exposure to magnetic fields can cause system failure, malfunction or loss of data.

■Never place a heavy object on the PC and be careful not to drop a heavy object onto the PC. It could damage the PC or cause system failure.

■Never use benzene, thinner or other chemicals when cleaning the PC, AC adaptor, or storage device. The use of benzene, thinner or other chemicals may result in deterioration, deformation or discoloration of those items and the loss of data.

■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.

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

■Some parts of 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.
