Preparation for use and operation
Selecting a location
!
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following
points when looking for a location:
●Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause overheating and damage.
●Do not place the notebook on your legs for a longer period of time. The underside of
the notebook heats up during normal operation. Longer contac with the skin can
become unpleasant or even result in burns.
●Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. Please note that the rubber
feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
●Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its mains adapter to ensure
adequate ventilation.
●Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the notebook or the mains
adapter.
●Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the notebook from dust, humidity, and heat.
Connecting the mains adapter
