Heat injury ■ Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on your lap, or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, for example) your skin might suffer low-heat injury. ■ If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with the metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot. ■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. This condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the AC adaptor, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it. ■ Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat. The material could be damaged. Pressure or impact damage Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong impact. Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to computer components or otherwise cause malfunctions. PC card overheating Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use.
