However, certain precautions should be observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the computer. Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions included in the text of the manual. Stress injury Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists than can be caused by extensive keyboard use. The User's Guide also includes information on workspace design; posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress. Heat Warning The base of the PC can become very warm; while the temperature will not be too hot to touch, prolonged physical contact may result in a temporary heat imprint on the skin. It is recommended that prolonged physical contact be avoided. Also, 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. Mobile phones Use of mobile phones can interfere with the PC sound system. The PC operation is not impaired but it is recommended that a distance of 30cm be maintained between the PC & the mobile phone. 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 component or otherwise cause malfunctions. PC card overheating Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. If two cards are installed, both can become hot even if only one is used extensively. Overheating of a PC card can result in errors or instability in the PC card operation. Also, be careful when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long time.
