Place the computer on a 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.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work area 

from:

■

Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.

■

Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as 

stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the 

computer) or speakerphones.

■

Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature 

change such as air conditioner vents or heaters.

■

Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.

■

Liquids and corrosive chemicals.

Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains 

information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists 

that can be caused by extensive keyboard use. Instruction Manual for 

Safety and Comfort also includes information on work space design, 

posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.

■

Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is 

used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the 

temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical 

contact with the computer for a long time, for example if you rest the 

computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your 

skin might suffer a low-heat injury.

■

If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with 

the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can 

become hot.

■

The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this 

condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the 

AC adaptor, you should disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.

■

Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat as the 

material could become damaged.
