Operating Environment

You can use your computer under a wide range of environmental conditions. However, to
ensure long use and continued high performance, consider the following factors when
setting up your computer:

 Set the computer on a flat, stable surface. To prevent damage to the computer’s hard disk

drive, avoid using the computer where it will be exposed to strong vibration.

 Place the computer away from electromagnetic or radio frequency interference.
 Be sure not to expose to dirty or dusty environments. Do not operate during a gas leak.
 Be sure not to place or drop objects on top and do not shove any foreign objects into the

machine.

 Avoid pressing or touching the display panel.
 Avoid placing together with small items that may scratch or enter the machine.

 Avoid using or storing the computer where it will be exposed to extreme temperatures. In

particular, do not leave the computer in direct sunlight, over a radiator, or near a heat source
for a long period of time. High temperature can damage the circuitry.

 Avoid exposing the computer to high or low humidity. Extreme humidity can contribute to

disk drive failure.

 If you are using the computer with the AC adapter, do not allow anything to rest on the

power cord. Do not place the computer where people can step on or trip over the cord.

 The openings on the computer are provided to protect the computer from overheating. To

ensure reliable operation, leave about 10 cm (4 inches) around the computer for
unobstructed air circulation. Avoid exposing the computer to dust or smoke.

Preparing your computer.

Install the Battery Pack

Connecting to a Power Source

You can use the provided AC adapter to supply your computer with power from an AC wall
outlet.
