Preface

Instructions for Care and Operation

The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow

these suggestions:

1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the

components could be damaged.

2. Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away

from any kind of heating ele¬ment. This is an electrical appliance. If water or

any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.

3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers,

electric motors, and other strong magnetic ﬁelds. These can hinder proper

performance and damage your data.

4. Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer

down properly and don’t forget to save your work. Remember to periodically

save your data as data may be lost if the battery is depleted.

• Do not expose it to excessive heat or direct sunlight.

Power Safety

The computer has speciﬁc power requirements:

• Only use a power adapter approved for use with this computer.

• Your AC/DC adapter may be designed for international travel but it still

requires a steady, uninterrupted power supply. If you are unsure of your

local power speciﬁcations, consult your service representative or local

power company.

• The power adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The

third prong is an important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do

not have access to a compatible outlet, have a qualiﬁed electrician

install one.

• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug

head, not by its wire.

• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total

current load of all the connected devices.

• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external

power sup¬plies (i.e. AC/DC adapter or car adapter).

• Do not plug in the power cord if you are wet.

• Do not use the power cord if it is broken.

• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.

Power Safety Warning

Before you undertake any upgrade procedures, make sure that you have turned off

the power, and disconnected all peripherals and cables (including telephone lines).

It is advisable to also remove you battery in order to prevent accidentally turning the

machine on.

explode, leak or damage the computer.

• Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears

damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer continues to

work with a damaged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which

may possibly result in ﬁre.

• Recharge the batteries using the notebook’s system. Incorrect recharging may

make the battery explode.

• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or

replacement to your service representative or qual¬iﬁed service personnel.

Travel Considerations

Packing

As you get ready for your trip, run through this list to make sure the system is ready to go:

1. Check that the battery pack and any spares are fully charged.

2. Power off the computer and peripherals.

3. Close the display panel and make sure it’s latched.

4. Disconnect the AC/DC adapter and cables. Stow them in the carrying bag.

5. The AC/DC adapter uses voltages from 100 to 240 volts so you won’t need

a second voltage adapter. However, check with your travel agent to see if you

need any socket adapters.

6. Put the notebook in its carrying bag and secure it with the bag’s straps.

7. If you’re taking any peripherals (e.g. a printer, mouse or digital camera), pack

them and those devices’ adapters and/or cables.

8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions or

require proof of ownership for both hard¬ware and software. Make sure your

documents are prepared.

Power Off Before Traveling

Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a

travel bag (or any other such container). Putting a notebook which is powered on

in a travel bag may cause the Vents/Fan Intakes to be blocked. To prevent your

computer from overheating make sure nothing blocks the Vent/Fan Intakes while the

computer is in use.

Alienware Aurora mALX Technical Reference

On the Road

In addition to the general safety and maintenance suggestions in this preface, and

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting, keep these points in mind:

Hand-carry the notebook - For security, don’t let it out of your sight. In some

areas, computer theft is very common. Don’t check it with normal luggage.

Baggage handlers may not be sufﬁciently careful. Avoid knock¬ing the computer

against hard objects.

Beware of Electromagnetic ﬁelds - Devices such as metal detectors & X-ray

machines can damage the com¬puter, hard disk, ﬂoppy disks, and other media.

They may also destroy any stored data - Pass your computer and disks around

the devices. Ask security ofﬁcials to hand-inspect them (you may be asked to

turn it on). Note: Some airports also scan luggage with these devices.

Fly safely - Most airlines have regulations about the use of computers and other

electronic devices in ﬂight. These restrictions are for your safety, follow them.

If you stow the notebook in an overhead compartment, make sure it’s secure.

Contents may shift and/or fall out when the compartment is opened.

Get power where you can - If an electrical outlet is available, use the AC/DC

adapter and keep your battery(ies) charged.

Keep it dry - If you move quickly from a cold to a warm location, water vapor can

condense inside the computer. Wait a few minutes before turning it on so that

any moisture can evaporate.

Developing Good Work Habits

Developing good work habits is important if you need to work in front of the computer

for long periods of time. Improper work habits can result in discomfort or serious injury

from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or other joints. The following are some tips

to reduce the strain:

• Adjust the height of the chair and/or desk so that the keyboard is at or

slightly below the level of your elbow. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands

in a relaxed position.

• Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. Place your feet ﬂat on the

ﬂoor or on a footrest if necessary.

• Use a chair with a back and adjust it to support your lower back comfortably.

• Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately

90-degree angles when you are working.

• Take periodic breaks if you are using the computer for long periods of time.

Remember to:

• Alter your posture frequently.

• Stretch and exercise your body several times a day.

• Take periodic breaks when you work at the computer for long

periods of time. Frequent and short breaks are better than fewer

and longer breaks.

Lighting

Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce eye strain and

muscle fatigue in your neck and shoulders.

• Position the display to avoid glare or reﬂections from overhead lighting or

outside sources of light.

• Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and contrast to levels

that allow you to see the screen clearly.

• Position the display directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance.

• Adjust the display-viewing angle to ﬁnd the best position.
