Some PC Cards can become hot with prolonged use. 
Overheating of a PC Card can result in errors or instability in 
its operation. 

Before you remove a PC Card, always wait for it to cool. You 
could get burned removing a hot PC Card.

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

❖

Never turn off the computer if a drive light indicates a 
drive is active.

Turning off the computer while it is reading from or writing to 
a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both.

❖

Keep the computer and disks away from objects that 
generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo 
speakers.

Information on disks is stored magnetically. Placing a magnet 
too close to a disk can erase important files. 

Handle discs carefully. Avoid touching the surface of the disc. 
Grasp it by its center hole and edge. If you handle the disc 
incorrectly, you could damage the disc and possibly lose data.

❖

Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you receive 
via email or download from the Internet. Occasionally, even 
new programs you buy from a supplier may contain a 
computer virus. You need a special program to check for 
viruses. Ask your dealer to help you.
