Chapter 2. Caring for your ThinkPad computer

Though your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work

environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following

these important tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your

computer.

Important tips

Be careful about where and how you work

v Do not leave the base of your computer, or any other part that becomes hot

during operation, in contact with your lap or any part of your body for an

extended period when the computer is functioning or when the battery is

charging. Your computer dissipates some heat during normal operation.

This heat is a function of the level of system activity and battery charge

level. Extended contact with your body, even through clothing, could cause

discomfort or, eventually, a skin burn.

v When the ac adapter is connected to an electrical outlet and your computer,

it generates heat. Do not place the adapter in contact with any part of your

body while using it. Never use the ac adapter to warm your body.

Extended contact with your body, even through clothing, may cause a skin

burn.

v Route the cables of an ac adapter, a mouse, a keyboard, a printer, or any

other electronic device, or communication lines, so that they cannot be

walked on, tripped over, pinched by your machine or other objects, or in

any way subjected to treatment that could disturb the operation of your

computer. Applying strong force to the cables may damage or break them.

v Place liquids away from your computer to avoid spills, and keep your

computer away from water (to avoid the danger of electrical shock).

v Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the

risk of suffocation from plastic bags.

v Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones,

electrical appliances, or speakers (within 13 cm or 5 in).

v Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/41°F

or above 35°C/95°F).

Be gentle with your computer

v Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the

keyboard or under the keyboard.

v Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy objects

on your computer, display, or external devices.
