Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I place my notebook for proper cooling?
It must be on a level surface with at least 10 cm of clearance around the air vents and cannot be covered or restricted.
Are all power adapters interchangeable?
No; only use the AC Adapter provided, or one recommended by GIGABYTE/authorized service personnel. Non-approved parts are dangerous.
What precautions should I take when traveling with the notebook?
Store it under your seat where it is always in sight, and exercise care due to risks like turbulence or theft.
How do I prevent a short circuit during regular use?
Do not obstruct the air vents or insert foreign objects into the venting spaces; this can cause system malfunction or fire hazard.
