4 Caring for Your Notebook
4-3
4.1.5 Precautions
•
Do not spill liquids on the keyboard. If liquid is spilt on the keyboard, turn your
notebook off immediately. Leave off overnight to let it completely dry out
before using it again.
•
Do not turn off your notebook if a drive light indicates a drive is active. Turning
off your notebook while it is reading from or writing to a disk may damage the
disk, the drive, or both.
•
Keep your notebook and disks away from objects that generate strong magnetic
fields, such as stereo speakers. Information on disks is stored magnetically.
Placing a magnet too close to a disk can erase important files.
•
Scan all new files for viruses. This precaution is especially important for files
you receive via email, disk or download from the Internet. You will need a
special program to scan for viruses. For further information, talk to your
computer dealer.
