•If the screen breaks, there is a danger of injury. If this happens, pick up the shattered pieces wearing protective gloves and send them to your service centre for professional disposal. Finally, wash your hands with soap, as the pieces may have been contaminated with chemicals.
•Do not fold the display back by an angle of more than 120°. Exceeding this value may damage the housing or the
notebook. Always hold the display firmly by the middle when folding it back, adjusting the position and closing it. Failure to do so may damage the display. Never use force to open the display.
•In order to avoid any damage to the device, ensure that the plug contacts do not come into contact with water under any circumstances. If this should nevertheless occur, it is imperative that the plug contacts are rubbed dry before the device is used again.
7
•To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with fingers or sharp objects.
•Never lift the notebook up by the display as this could break the hinges.
•Over time, dust can collect inside the notebook which then blocks the vents. This can lead to an increase in the fan speed and, therefore, also increase the operating volume of your notebook. It can also lead to overheating and malfunctions. Therefore, have the interior of the notebook cleaned by your service department or a specialist at regular intervals.
•Should the below occur, switch the notebook off immediately/ do not switch the notebook on, disconnect the mains plug and contact customer services if
−the mains adapter or the attached power cable or plug is burnt or damaged. Replace faulty mains cables/mains adaptors only with original parts. These parts should not be repaired under any circumstances.
−the notebook housing is damaged or liquid has penetrated into the device. Have the notebook inspected by customer services. Otherwise, it may not be possible to operate the notebook safely. There may be a risk of electric shock and/ or harmful laser radiation!
If the notebook gets wet,
•do not switch on.
•disconnect the power cable.
•not switch on until the notebook has dried off completely.
8
2.3. Never carry out repairs yourself
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
If there is a fault, contact the Service Centre or other suitable specialist workshop, in order to avoid a hazard.
Never try to open or repair the device yourself.
2.4.Data backup
PLEASE NOTE! Loss of data!
Back up your data to external storage media before each update. We do not accept any liability for claims for compensation arising from loss of data or any consequential loss or damage.
2.5. Setup Location
•Keep your notebook and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight.
Non-compliance with these instructions can lead to faults or damage to the notebook.
•Do not use the notebook outdoors because external elements, such as rain, snow, etc., could damage it.
•Set up and operate all components on a stable, level and vibration-free surface to prevent the notebook from falling down.
•Do not operate the notebook or power adaptor for long periods on your lap or any other body part as the heat dissipation on the underside can result in uncomfortable overheating.
•This device is not suitable for use with VDU workstations.
9
2.6. Environmental Requirements
•The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature between 5 °C (+41 °F) and 30 °C (+86 °F) and at a relative humidity between 20% and 80% (without condensation).
•When powered off, the notebook can be stored at temperatures between 0 °C and 60 °C (+32 °F and 140 °F).
•During a thunderstorm, disconnect the mains plug. For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protection device to prevent the notebook from sustaining damage as a result of power surges or lightning strikes.
•After transporting the notebook, wait until the device has reached room temperature before switching it on. Large changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause moisture build up within the notebook due to condensation. This can cause an electrical short circuit.
•Keep the original packaging in the event the device needs to be sent in.
10
2.7. Ergonomics
PLEASE NOTE!
Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark contrast in order to protect your eyes.
The notebook should never be placed next to a window because this is the brightest part of the room in daylight. This brightness can make it more difficult for the eyes to adjust to the darker display. The notebook should always be positioned so that the direction of vision is parallel to the window front.
Setting up the notebook with your back to the window is incorrect as reflections from the bright window on the screen will then be unavoidable. A position looking onto the window is also incorrect as the contrast between the dark screen and the bright daylight can cause problems for the eyes to adjust and result in problems.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation to artificial lighting equipment.
In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where the workspace is illuminated with artificial light. Where space restrictions make it impossible to set up the screen as described, then correct positioning (rotating, tilting) of the notebook/ screen can prevent dazzling, reflections and excessive brightdark contrast, etc. In many cases, an improvement can also
be achieved by using slats or vertical blinds on the windows, partition walls or by changing the artificial lighting equipment.
11
2.8. Connecting
Follow the instructions below to connect your notebook correctly and safely:
2.8.1. Power Supply
DANGER!
Risk of electrical shock!
There are live components inside this mains adapter. In the event of an unintentional short circuit of this mains adapter, there is a risk of electrical shock or fire!
Do not open the housing of the mains adapter.
•The socket outlet must be close to the notebook and easily accessible.
•To disconnect the power supply from your notebook (via the mains adaptor), pull the mains plug from the power outlet.
