About Your Electronic User’s Guide

The illustrations, colours and pictures shown are for descriptive purposes. They may vary

slightly from country to country and the unit you purchase. Please refer to the finished product

for final configurations. Specifications and model names are subject to change without notice.

Text Setup

To make this document as easy to use as possible, additional texts will appear throughout. The

following details the layout and meaning of these additional texts.

Note

Notes give particularly important information about an item being described.

CAUTION

Cautions indicate situations that can damage the computer hardware or software.

WARNING

Warnings alert you to situations that could result in serious personal injury or even

loss of life.

* *For specific models only

Items marked with an asterisk (*) denotes optional items only supplied for specific

models. If the items are not found in the packaging box, it means that they are not

applicable to the system you have just purchased, hence they are not included for

you in the system.

Electronic User’s Guide

To help you familiarise yourself with your new system, we have preinstalled an “Electronic

User’s Guide” for you inside the system (for specific models only, and only applicable to the

Windows®operating system). This guide will contain more information on your system and

Windows®.

Visit our website at www.nec-computers-ap.com regularly to download the most up-to-date

Electronic User’s Guide and print it for your reference.

Note

We recommend that you print this documentation. It will then be easily accessible

even when your system is shut down. To print the Electronic User’s Guide, click

“File” on the top menubar, and then click “Print” from the dropdown menu. You must

have a printer installed and connected to be able to print.

Print in small booklets using recycled paper. Make two-sided prints and copies using the

“duplex” function, print multiple images/page per page, and print only the quantity you need

at the time you need it. This gives you a handy way to store the booklet nearby and saves

paper.

Basic Care and Handling Tips

Protect the computer from extremely low or high

temperatures. Let the computer warm (or cool) to room

temperature before using it.

Keep the computer away from magnetised areas (some airline

tray tables are magnetic; do not set your computer on top of

them). Doing so may damage the data on your hard drive.

Keep the computer dry.

Do not wipe the computer with a wet cloth or pour fluid onto

it.

Protect the computer from strong physical contact, such as

being bumped or dropped.

Check the computer for condensation.

If condensation is present, allow it to evaporate before

switching on the computer.

Keep the computer away from dust, sand and dirt.

CAUTION

Immediately turn off and unplug the computer under the following conditions:

• The power cord has been damaged or frayed.

• Liquid has spilled on or into the computer.

• The computer has been dropped or its casing has been damaged.

Storage Requirements

Store the computer and AC adaptor in an environment that meets the following

conditions:

Should the temperature of the computer suddenly rise or fall (for example, when you move

the computer from a cold place to a warm place), vapour may condense inside the computer.

Turning on the computer under such conditions can damage the internal computer

components.

Before turning on the computer, wait until the computer's internal temperature stabilises with

the new environment and any internal moisture has evaporated.

•Operate and store your computer within the recommended temperatures and humidity

levels (refer to the section on “Product Storage Environment Guidelines” for more

information).

•Keep the storage area free from vibration and magnetic fields.

•Keep the computer and its components away from organic solvents or corrosive gases.

•Avoid leaving the computer and its components under direct sunlight or near heat

sources.
