BATTERIES
Caring for your Batteries
■
Always handle batteries carefully.
■
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not
carry loose batteries in a pocket or purse where they
may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects.
Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
■
Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
erate the battery.
■
Recharge batteries only as described in this manual
and only in ventilated areas.
■
Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a
day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
■
Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6
months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
■
Power your LifeBook notebook with the AC or
optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.
■
If your LifeBook notebook is running on battery
power all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight
to recharge the battery.
■
Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.
■
Set the power management for maximum battery life.
■
Put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend mode when it
is turned on and you are not actually using it.
■
Limit your media drive access.
■
Disable the media player auto insert notification
function.
■
Always use fully charged batteries.
■
Eject PCMCIA cards or ExpressCards when not in use.
MEDIA CARE
Caring for your Media
(DVD/CD/CD-R/DVD+/-R/DVD+/-RW)
Media discs are precision devices and will function reli-
ably if given reasonable care.
■
Always store your media disc in its case when it is not
in use.
■
Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching
the surface.
■
Avoid storing any media discs in extreme tempera-
tures.
■
Do not bend media discs or set heavy objects on them.
■
Do not spill liquids on media discs.
■
Do not scratch media discs.
■
Do not put a label on media discs.
■
Do not get dust on media discs.
■
Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen
or pencil. Always use a felt pen.
■
If a media disc is subjected to a sudden change in tem-
perature, cold to warm condensation may form on the
surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint
free cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT
use a hair dryer or heater to dry media discs.
■
If a disc is dirty, use only a DVD/CD cleaner or wipe it
with a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner
edge and wiping to the outer edge.
Caring for your Media Drive
Your media player drive is durable but you must treat it
with care. Please pay attention to the following points:
■
The drive rotates the compact disc at a very high
speed. Do not carry it around or subject it to shock
or vibration with the power on.
■
Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be
exposed to extreme temperatures.
■
Avoid using or storing the drive where it is damp
or dusty.
■
Avoid using or storing the drive near magnets or
devices that generate strong magnetic fields.
■
Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be
subjected to shock or vibration.
■
Do not disassemble or dismantle the media player
drive.
MEDIA CARDS
Caring for your Media Cards
Media cards (including PC Cards, ExpressCards,
Memory Sticks and SD Cards) are durable, but you must
treat them with care. The documentation supplied with
your card will provide specific information, but you
should pay attention to the following points:
■
To keep out dust and dirt, store cards in their protec-
tive sleeves when they’re not installed in the notebook.
■
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or
excessive heat.
■
Keep the cards dry.
■
Do not flex or bend the cards, and do not place heavy
objects on top of them.
■
Do not force cards into the slot.
■
Avoid dropping cards, or subjecting them to excessive
vibration.
