THINGS YOU MUST REMEMBER BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR
COMPUTER
LET YOUR COMPUTER ACCLIMATE ITSELF
Your computer can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesn’t
like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold outdoors to
a warm office. Rapid changes in temperature can cause water droplets
to condense inside your case, threatening to damage the electronic
parts inside.
After receiving your computer when it’s hot or cold outside, try not
to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to the
room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours.
If your system arrives in cold weather, do not apply power
to the computer until it has been allowed to warm to room temperature.
HEAT, COLD, HUMIDITY, AND GLARE
Find a suitable place for your computer that’s not too hot, too cold,
too dark, or too bright. Glare can make it hard to read the screen.
This computer’s components can be damaged or destroyed if
over heated, so try to allow plenty of room for air to circulate
around the case.
Do not block the ventilation opening.
Do not place your computer in direct sunlight.
SUITABLE PLACE TO WORK
Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but
extremes of temperature and humidity can be challenging to your
system’s parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the
computer can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil.
In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try to choose a
clean, comfortable work area for your system.
The included battery pack will provide the necessary power when you
are traveling. If you are running your system for the first time on
battery power, remove the battery from the package, install it into the
system (the battery should already be preinstalled in the unit when it
arrives from the dealer) and recharge the battery to fully prepare for
service.
