Before You Start

This manual will help you get the most from your computer. If you are
a less experienced user, you should read through the manual carefully
before using your computer.

What to do Before You Work on your Computer

Let your Computer acclimatize itself

Rapid changes in temperature such as those from the cold outdoors to a
warm office would not be suitable for your system.

Do not power up your system immediately if
it has been exposed to hot or cold conditions. Instead, allow the
system to adjust gradually to room temperature over a three to
four hour period.

Placement of your Computer

Choose a suitable place for your system that’s not too hot, too cold, too
dark, or too bright. Glare can make it difficult to read the screen.

1

h Allow sufficient air circulation around the computer when you are

working indoors

h Try to keep the system components from being destroyed if it is

over heated

h Do not block the ventilation opening
h Do not place your computer in direct sunlight

Suitable place to work

Your computer will run well under most conditions but avoid extreme
temperatures and humidity levels.

There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t – things
like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil.

A lithium-ion battery pack is included for
those who are frequent travelers. When you are running your
computer on battery power for the first time, remove the battery
from the package, install it into the system and recharge the
battery to fully prepare for service.
