While the computer is designed for flexible day-to-day usage you should 

exercise a few simple precautions when moving it in order to help ensure 

trouble-free operation.

Before moving the computer, it is recommended that you change the 

setting associated with the Hard Disk Drive Protection feature. Please 

refer to the section, 

, in this chapter for further 

information.

■

Make sure all disk/disc activity has ended before moving the computer - 

check that the HDD and other indicators on the front of the computer 

are off.

Turn off (shut down) the computer.

■

Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the 

computer.

Close the display panel.

■

Do not pick up the computer by its display panel.

■

Before carrying your computer, shut it down, disconnect the AC adaptor 

and allow it to cool down - a failure to follow this instruction may result in 

minor heat injury.

■

Be careful not to subject the computer to impact or shock - a failure to 

follow this instruction could result in damage to computer, computer 

failure or loss of data.

■

Never transport your computer with any cards installed - this may cause 

damage to either the computer and/or the card resulting in product 

failure.

■

■

When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it does 

not fall or hit anything.

■

Do not carry your computer by holding any of its protruding elements.

To protect against overheating, the processor is equipped with an internal 

temperature sensor which activates a cooling fan or lowers the processing 

speed if the computer's internal temperature rises to a certain level. You are 

able to select whether to control this temperature by either turning on the 

fan first, then if necessary lowering the processor speed, or by lowering the 

processor speed first, then if necessary turning on the fan. Both of these 

functions are controlled through the Power Options.
When the processor's temperature falls within normal range, the fan will be 

turned off and the processor operation returned to its standard speed.
