Operating Environment
Since users are likely to maintain the same posture for a long period of time when using the computer, they will
be exhausted more easily if compared with other users engaged in other general operations. This section will
illustrate the suggested posture and the operating environment for the use of the computer.
Health Management
Take a 2 to 3-minute break every 30 minutes when you are operating the computer for a long time.
Sedentariness will also cause stress. Do some gentle gymnastics during your break for recreation. When you
have symptoms such as eyestrain, sleepiness, dizziness, stiff in the shoulders, or numbness of the wrists or
hands, have a rest right away. In case these symptoms remain the next day, please contact your doctor as soon
as possible.
Posture When You Are Using the Computer
Please use the computer with your body relaxed and with a good sitting posture. For this, please pay attention
to the following tips.
! Adjust the height of the desk and the chair to look down from a position a little bit higher than the screen.
! Adjust the chair until you can lean your back closely on the chair and sit down with your back stretched.

Use appropriate lighting
Use the same appropriate lighting that is intended for office use when you use the computer.
Adjust the angle of the display to the position with which you can see the display clearly
You won't see the screen clearly if the display reflects light. In addition, the visibility of the display varies with the
angle due to its feature. Adjust the angle of the display to ensure its clear visibility.
Clean the display
A dusty display makes the screen hard to see clearly. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth to clean the display
regularly.
Important !
This machine is a precision machine. For the place of installation and operation, please read carefully the section
“For the Correct Use of this Product and Your Safety” to ensure the correct operation.
Transportation Precautions
To prepare the Notebook PC for transport, you should turn it OFF and disconnect
all external peripherals to prevent damage to the connectors. The hard disk
drive's head retracts when the power is turned OFF to prevent scratching of the
hard disk surface during transport. Therefore, you should not transport the
Notebook PC while the power is still ON. Close the display panel and check that it
is latched securely in the closed position to protect the keyboard and display
panel.

Cover Your Notebook PC
You can purchase an optional carrying case to protect it from dirt, water, shock, and scratches.
Note :
The surface glaze is easily dulled if not properly cared for. Be careful not to rub or scratch the Notebook PC surfaces
when transporting your Notebook PC.
Cover Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and any optional battery
packs before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as
it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the
battery pack when the Notebook PC is in use.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Notebook PC on the airplane. Most airlines will have
restrictions for using electronic devices and will allow electronic use only between and not during takeoffs
and landings.
Caution :
There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts),
magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security checks) and magnetic wands (hand-held devices
used on people or individual items). You can send your Notebook PC and diskettes through airport X-ray machines.
However, it is recommended that you do not send your Notebook PC or diskettes through airport magnetic
detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.
