This lock may prevent your notebook from being moved or stolen. Install an optional Security Cable as follows: 1. Select the object in the room to which you will secure your notebook. Choose an immovable piece of furniture or fixture (a table or desk leg with a cross bar). Take the looped end of the steel cable (For specific models only) and wrap around the immovable object. Be sure to choose an object that prevents an intruder from slipping the cable out from under the object. Feed the locking device through the looped end of the cable. To install the Security Cable, make sure that the lock is in the unlocked position. To do so, insert the key into the lock and, holding the locking device stable, turn the key clockwise to the unlocked position. Insert the locking device into the Security Cable slot in your notebook. Turn the key 90° counter-clockwise to lock and remove the key. Check that the Security Cable is secure by gently pulling on the locking device. 52 Operating Environment Caring for your notebook also requires taking into account the effect of temperature, humidity, and moisture on notebook components. Like any other electronic products, notebooks are vulnerable to drastic changes in temperature, and especially moisture on notebook components. Please follow the tips below regarding the recommended operating environment: · Avoid using your notebook in high humidity - computers are best used in moderate humidity conditions. Although notebooks are more sensitive to temperature than to humidity, using a notebook in a humid environment can present problems especially when the humidity reaches extreme levels. A few humid days is not really a cause for concern but using, for instance, a laptop in a tropical jungle can present wear-out issues. Humidity hastens corrosion and increases the risk of condensation that can damage certain parts. Going directly from a cold to a warm environment leads to condensation. Cooling a notebook is also difficult when humidity is high. Before switching on, allow the notebook to adjust to room temperature - in general, electronic equipments that have been exposed or stored in very low temperatures should adjust gradually to room temperature before they are switched on. Immediately powering on a notebook that has been stored for some time at low temperatures in an environment with high temperatures increases the risk of damaging parts. Do not expose the notebook to moisture and spills - users tend to stretch the limits by using and leaving their notebooks at the most unlikely places like the kitchen, the bathroom, on the garden table or by the swimming pool where the chance of it getting wet is high.
