Important information on your computer's cooling fan
Your computer may have a CPU cooling fan that cools the CPU by
drawing outside air into the computer.
Read the "Provide adequate ventilation" section in the "Instruction
Manual for Safety and Comfort" that is shipped with your
computer.
NOTE
Setting up your computer
Your computer contains a rechargeable main battery that needs to
be charged before you can use it.
To use external power or to charge the battery you must attach the
AC adaptor. See
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequate
ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned
on or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your
computer is in Sleep mode). In this condition, observe the following:
❖
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object.
❖
Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source,
such as an electric blanket or heater.
❖
Never cover or block the air vents including those located at the
base of the computer.
❖
Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Using your
computer on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents
located at the base of the computer.
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system
failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting
in serious injury.
The cooling fan location will vary depending on the computer.
