Guidelines for safe battery usage

This notebook uses a Lithium-ion battery. Do not use it in a humid, 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 60° C (140° 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

vi

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 not occur

at temperatures below 0° C (32° F) or above 40° C (104° 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, buy a new battery.

Use only the approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with the approved

chargers designated for this device.

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.

Note: Please refer to www.acer.com for battery shipping documents.

Replacing the battery pack

The notebook uses lithium batteries. Replace the battery with the same type as that

which came bundled with your product. Use of another battery may present a risk of

fire or explosion.

Warning! Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not

disassemble or dispose of them in fire. Keep them away from

children. Follow local regulations when disposing of used

batteries.

Caution for Optical Drive Device

Note: Information in this section may not apply to your computer.

Tips and information for comfortable use

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.

English

• 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 your eyes

point downward when looking at the middle of the display.

• Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for

enhanced text readability and graphics clarity.

• Eliminate glare and reflections by:

• placing your display in such a way that the side faces the window or any

light source,

• minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds,

• using a task light,

• changing the display’s viewing angle,

• using a glare-reduction filter,

• using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from the

display’s top front edge.

• Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.

• Avoid looking at bright light sources for extended periods of time.

Developing good work habits

The following work habits make computer use more relaxing and productive:

• Take short breaks regularly and often.

xii

•

Perform some stretching exercises.

• Breathe fresh air as often as possible.

• Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy body.

Warning! We do not recommend using the computer on a couch

or bed. If this is unavoidable, work for only short periods, take

breaks regularly, and do some stretching exercises.
