Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication
devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your notebook
system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating
a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the
specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your
system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval
Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device
in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements.
Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your
notebook is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the
wireless devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than
is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer
believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be
taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device
and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include
extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the
body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

Tips for Using Your Computer

The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your
computer:

Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids
your warranty. Only an authorised manufacturer service center can replace or
add any parts inside the chassis.

• Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.

• The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent

damage, avoid touching the screen.

• Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other

options.

• Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around

components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan inside
your computer runs when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent
on the left side of your computer is not blocked when you use the computer.
Occasionally check the vents and remove any accumulated dust on the outside.

• Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a

car on a hot day. Keep the computer away from heaters and out of direct
sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage computer components. If you
have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool down slowly to room
temperature (with the LCD panel open) before using it.

10 Users Manual

• Do not remove the memory-module compartment door, or try to install a

memory module when the computer is on.
(For information on installing memory modules, see “Installing a Memory
Module” on page 58.)

• Set up your computer work area to avoid physical strain. Sit with your back

straight and supported by your chair. Adjust your chair or work table so that
your arms and wrists can remain in a relaxed position, parallel with the floor.
Avoid bending or twisting your wrists as you work. Your hands should “float”
slightly above the keyboard. Refer to a book on office ergonomics for more
information on setting up your work area.

• Take frequent breaks from working at the computer to rest your eyes and

stretch your muscles.

• Remember to save your data files frequently and to make backup copies of your

files.

Travelling with Your Computer

If you are travelling by air, follow these tips:

• Take the computer with you as carry-on luggage. Do not check the computer

with your baggage.

• Allow the computer and disks to go through the X-ray security devices. Do not

hand-carry disks through the walk-through metal detectors, which can cause
loss of data.

• Please collect your computer immediately after X-ray scanning, this is a high

theft area for portable computers.

• Make sure that the battery is charged or the power cord is easily accessible.

You may be required to turn on the computer for airport security personnel.

• Be prepared to turn off the computer during take off and landing.

Handling Spills

Do not spill anything on your computer. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating
and drinking around your computer. If you do spill something on your computer, turn
off your computer, unplug it immediately, and do the following:

• If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the

keyboard as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD panel.
Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to use it.

• If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as

much of the liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature
for a full day before trying to use it.

Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the keyboard despite your
efforts to dry it.

• If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and

denatured alcohol or a proprietary LCD screen cleaner. Do not use water,
window cleaner, acetone, aromatic solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.

Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your screen is damaged,
contact your authorized manufacturer’s service center for a replacement.

Using Your Computer for the First Time 11

Storing the Computer for Long Periods

If possible, leave the power cord connected to the computer and an electrical outlet
when the computer is not in use. This extends the life of the battery and keeps the
battery fully charged.

If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (a month or more), you
should charge the battery until it is completely full. After you have done so, remove the
battery from the unit.
