Preface
•
Using the Computer for the First Time
Be sure to fully charge (approx. 4 hours) the computer when you plug it in for the
first time.
• Long-Term Storage & Maintenance
If you do not plan to use the computer’s battery for more than three months, it is
recommended that you store the battery separately, fully charged, and then recharge
it every three month. If you store an uncharged battery, it could fall into a deep worn-
out state which would render it incapable of holding any charge. Be sure to store the
computer and the battery at the proper temperature. (See 1.3. Specifications1.3.
Specifications on page 3 .)
• Battery Lifespan
The removable batteries for the computer are designed to retain up to 80% of their
original capacity after 300 charging and recharging cycles when properly maintained.
You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to
meet your needs.
Disposing of Your Old Computer
• Within the European Union
EU-wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State,
requires that waste electrical and electronic products carrying the mark
(left) must be disposed of separately from normal household waste.
This includes monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or
power cords. When you need to dispose of your display products, please
follow the guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you
purchased the product, or if applicable, follow any agreements made between
yourself. The mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the current
European Union Member States.
• Outside the European Union
If you wish to dispose of used electrical and electronic products outside the European
Union, please contact your local authority so as to comply with the correct disposal
method.
