Things you must remember before working on your computer

Let your computer acclimate itself

Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold outdoors to a warm office.

Rapid changes in temperature can cause water droplets to condense inside your case, threatening to damage the electronic parts inside.

After receiving your notebook when it’s hot or cold outside, try not to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to the room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours.

If your system arrives in cold weather, do not apply power to the computer or monitor until they have been allowed to come to room temperature.

Heat, Cold, Humidity, and Glare

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

Try to avoid the computer components from being destroyed if it is overheated, so try to allow plenty of room for air to circulate around the case.

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

Suitable place to work

Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but extreme temperature and humidity can be challenging to your system’s parts.

There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil. In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system.

A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are traveling. If you are running your system for the first time on battery power, remove the battery from the package, install it into the system and recharge the battery to fully prepare for service.

Please use the adapter recommended in

this manual.
