Getting Started

any peripheral device (including wired LAN cable) except the AC adaptor.

Handling the AC adaptor

Press and hold the power switch (A) until the power indicator

(B) lights. Beep will sound when the computer is turned on.

CAUTION

Humidity: Operation : 30% to 80% RH (No condensation)

Storage : 30% to 90% RH (No condensation) Even within the above temperature/humidity ranges, operation for a long time in extreme environments, smoking nearby, or operation in places where oil is used or where there is a lot of dust will result in the product deterioration and will shorten the product life. Do not place the computer in the following areas, otherwise the computer may be damaged.

●

Near electronic equipment. Image distortion or noise may occur.

•

In extremely high or low temperature.

•

As the computer can become hot during operation, keep it away from items that are sensitive to heat.
