14 Caution: Safety Instructions
• When you move your device between environments with very different temperature
and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the device. To avoid
damaging the device, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using
the device.
NOTICE: When taking the device from low-temperature conditions into a warmer
environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler environment, allow the
device to acclimate to room temperature before turning on power.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on
the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending
any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are
correctly oriented and aligned.
• Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory module by its
edges, not its pins.
• Clean the display with a soft, clean cloth and water. Apply the water to the cloth; then
stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display
to the bottom. Remove moisture from the display quickly and keep the display dry.
Long-term exposure to moisture can damage the display. Do not use a commercial
window cleaner to clean your display.
SAFETY: Ergonomic Computing Habits
CAUTION: Improper or prolonged keyboard use may result in injury.
CAUTION: Viewing the display or external monitor screen for extended periods of
time may result in eye strain.
SAFETY: Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your device. To prevent static
damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your device’s
electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted
metal surface.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to
install the component. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to
discharge static electricity from your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container
or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor
pads and workbench pads.
