Taking Care of your computer 

Please read the important instructions listed in this section. Following 
these instructions will help you maximize the durability of your 
computer. 

Important tips 

Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight. Do not place it 
near sources of heat, such as a radiator. 

Do not subject the computer to magnetic fields. 

Do not expose the computer to rain or moisture. 

Do not spill water on the computer. 

Do not subject the computer to heavy shock or vibration. 

Do not expose the computer to dust and dirt. 

Never place the system on uneven surfaces. 

Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on top of it. 
Carefully route the power cord and any cables away from personal 
traffic. 

When unplugging the power cord, do not pull on the cord itself 
but pull on the plug. 

The total ampere rating of the equipment plugged in should not 
exceed the ampere rating of the cord if you are using an extension 
cord. Also, the total current rating of all equipment plugged into a 
single wall outlet should not exceed the fuse rating. 

Check the documentation that came with your software programs 
to see if you can select other combinations of resolution and color. 
These adjustments could make viewing the screen more 
comfortable. 

Cleaning and servicing 

To clean your computer and keyboard 

1

Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord. 

2

Use a soft cloth moistened with water and gently wipe the exterior 
of the computer and the keyboard. Do not use liquid or aerosol 
cleaners.
