The cautions on use of a Qosmio F60 Series computer

1. Clean any dust accumulated on the computer's cooling vents.

The cooling vents are located on the left side and underside of the

computer.

2. Cooling vents on the underside and left side of the computer.

Cooling vents

When you use your computer in a dusty area, dirt and debris may

accumulate on the cooling vents at the under side of your unit. If this

occurs, the accumulated dust can cause insufficient heat dissipation which

may result in the computer shutting down during use. Carefully clean the

dust from the vents using a vacuum cleaner.

1. Cooling vents

To prevent possible overheating of the CPU, make sure the cooling fan's

air intake is not blocked. The fan draws in air by creating a vacuum. If the

fan is blocked, it could cause the CPU to run at a lower performance level

or cause the computer to shut down. Loose items such as notebook and

tissue paper, plastic wrappers, or other similar materials can block the air

intake, preventing air from reaching the CPU. Do not use the computer on

surfaces with objects that can be drawn in by the cooling fan.
