Tips for Using Your Computer
The following information helps you avoid potential problems 
as you use your computer:
Do not try to disassemble your computer. 
Opening the system chassis voids your 
warranty. Only an authorized AST service center 
can replace or add any parts inside the chassis.
Follow all the instructions and cautions in your 
computer user documentation.
The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged 
easily. To prevent damage, avoid touching the screen.
Use only AST approved AC adapters, automobile 
adapters, airline adapters, and memory modules.
Because a portable computer is small and has restricted 
air flow around components, it is more likely to overheat 
than a desktop computer. A fan inside your computer 
runs when needed to help eliminate some heat. Make 
sure the fan vent on the side of your computer is not 
blocked when you use the computer. (See Figure 1 on 
page 5 for the location of the vent.) Oc
casionally check 
the vent and remove any accumulated dust on the 
outside. 
Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or 
cold areas, such as a car on a hot day. Keep the computer 
away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Exposure 
to excessive heat may damage computer components. 
If you have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool 
down slowly to room temperature (with the LCD panel 
open) before using it.
