      T IP S     AND INFORMATION FOR
                COMFORTABLE USE

   Important
   Some of the information in this guide may not apply to your computer.

   Computer users may complain of eyestrain and headaches after
   prolonged use. Users are also at risk of physical injury after long
   hours of working in front of a computer. Long work periods, bad
   posture, poor work habits, stress, inadequate working conditions,
   personal health and other factors greatly increase the risk of physical
   injury.
   Incorrect computer usage may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome,
   tendonitis, tenosynovitis or other musculoskeletal disorders. The
   following symptoms may appear in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders,
   neck or back:
   • Numbness, or a burning or tingling sensation.
   • Aching, soreness or tenderness.
   • Pain, swelling or throbbing.
   • Stiffness or tightness.
   • Coldness or weakness.
   If you have these symptoms, or any other recurring or persistent
   discomfort and/or pain related to computer use, consult a physician
   immediately and inform your company's health and safety
   department.
   The following section provides tips for more comfortable computer
   use.

Finding your comfort zone
   Find your comfort zone by adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor,
   using a footrest, or raising your sitting height to achieve maximum
   comfort. Observe the following tips:
   • Refrain from staying too long in one fixed posture.


6 - Tips and information for comfortable use



          • Avoid slouching forward and/or leaning backward.
          • Stand up and walk around regularly to remove the strain on your leg
            muscles.
          • Take short rests to relax your neck and shoulders.
          • Avoid tensing your muscles or shrugging your shoulders.
          • Install the external display, keyboard and mouse properly and within
            comfortable reach.
          • If you view your monitor more than your documents, place the
            display at the center of your desk to minimize neck strain.

 Taking care of your vision
          Long viewing hours, wearing incorrect glasses or contact lenses,
          glare, excessive room lighting, poorly focused screens, very small
          typefaces and low-contrast displays could stress your eyes. The
          following sections provide suggestions on how to reduce eyestrain.
          Eyes
          • Rest your eyes frequently.
          • Give your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and
             focusing on a distant point.
          • Blink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.
          Display
          • Keep your display clean.
          • Keep your head at a higher level than the top edge of the display so

Guidelines for safe battery usage

   Warning
   When using a charging cart or a small space to simultaneously charge
   or operate multiple devices , the area must be well- ventilated and the
   temperature kept between 0 °C (32 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F) and battery
   charging must be stopped when 100% capacity is reached.
   Continuous charging can cause deformation or damage to the battery/
   device.

Precautions when charging batteries
   The useful lifespan of a battery is adversely affected by the following
   behavior:
   • Constantly charging the battery/device when already at full capacity.
   • Charging the battery/device at temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F) or
     below 0 °C (32 °F).
   To prevent damage, follow these precautions:
   • Stop charging the battery once it reaches 100% capacity; regularly
     or frequently charging a fully charged battery for an extended period
     of time may cause battery deformation or damage. We recommend
     that you recharge the device when the battery level drops below
     70% capacity.
   • Do not charge battery in temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F) or below
     0 °C (32 °F). Charging in abnormally high or abnormally low
     temperatures can cause battery deformation or damage.
   • The charging port must be clean and free from debris and should
     only be used with Acer charging equipment. Use of a non-Acer
     battery or charging equipment can cause damage to the product
     and will void the warranty.
   • If you plan to store the device for a long period of time, turn-off the
     device, remove AC power and store the product at room
     temperature (0 °C - 35 °C) in a dry (humidity: 45% - 80%), well-
     ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures and high
     humidity. Do not leave your device’s battery completely discharged
     for a long period of time; this may cause battery deformation or
     damage. We recommend that the battery is checked and charged to
     approximately 50% capacity every 6 months.


14 - Basic care and tips for using your computer



          • ONLY CHARGE THE BATTERY IN A CLEAN, WELL VENTILATED
            AREA.


          Warning
          Batteries may explode if not handled properly.
          Do not disassemble or dispose of batteries in fire.
          Do not short external contacts, crush, puncture or otherwise tamper
          with batteries. Keep batteries away from children.
          Follow local regulations when disposing of used batteries.

  Precautions when replacing the battery
          Improper replacement or mishandling could damage the battery,
          cause overheating, result in injury, and risk fire or explosion.
          • Device with built-in battery: A built-in battery must be replaced by an
             authorized service center. Do not attempt to replace or remove the
             battery by yourself.
          • Device with removable battery: The battery should only be replaced
             with parts approved by Acer. Do not replace the battery with any
             parts other than approved ones.

          wet or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product
          in or near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong
          direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and
          do not expose it to temperatures over 50 °C (122 °F).
          Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to leak acid,
          become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. Do
          not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and
          you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with
          water and seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons,
          and to prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will must not occur
          at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 35 °C (95 °F).
          The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or
          three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be
          charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear
          out. When the operation time becomes noticeably shorter than
          normal, check an authorized reseller to purchase a new battery.

   Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger
   or battery that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental
   short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or
   pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-)
   terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.)
   This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in
   your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the
   battery or the connecting object.
   The capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced if the battery is
   left in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter.
   Always try to keep the battery between 15° C and 25° C (59° F and
   77° F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily,
   even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is
   especially limited in temperatures well below freezing.
   Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries
   may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local
   regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as
   household waste.
   Wireless devices may be susceptible to interference from the battery,
   which could affect performance.
