As you set up and use the computer, follow these precautions:

The monitor should be at eye level as you sit at the computer.  Adjust
lighting in the room to reduce glare on the screen.  Use the controls
on the monitor to adjust the brightness and contrast to comfortable
levels.

If you plan to use the keyboard or mouse for hours at a time, consider
purchasing and using wrist support padding.  Take occasional breaks from
using the computer.

Use a flat, stable work surface with enough space around it for
proper air circulation.  These are the minimum clearances:

  Rear of computer chassis: 3" (7/6 cm)
  Left side of computer chassis: 6" (15.2 cm)
  Right side of computer chassis: 6" (15.2 cm)
  Top of monitor: 6" (15.2 cm)

Choose a work surface large enough to accommodate the entire system.

Protect the equipment from wet weather and liquids.

Avoid dropping, jarring, or shaking the equipment.

Turn the equipment off, unplug the power cord, and disconnect all
peripheral devices if you:

  Open the computer
  Expose the equipment to liquid.
  Drop, jar, or damage the equipment.

Do not open the power supply or the monitor.

Follow all the instructions and cautions in this manual.
