LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the 

screen for a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by 
limiting the amount of static content on the display. It is recommended 
that you use a screen saver or turn off the display when it is not in use. 

 

To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight 
to automatically turn off as a result of power management.  

Cleaning Guidelines 

 

Never clean the computer with its power on. 

 

Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to 
wipe the exterior of the computer. 

 

Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. 

 

Dust or grease on the touchpad can affect its sensitivity. Clean the pad 
by using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface. 

 

If water or liquid is split onto the computer, wipe it dry and clean when 

possible. Though your computer is water-proof, do not leave the computer 
wet when you can dry it.  

 

If the computer gets wet where the temperature is 0

°

C (32

°

F) or below, 

freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet computer.  

Battery Pack Guidelines 

 

Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, 

make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid 
harm to the battery pack. 

 

The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions 

will shorten its life: 
– when frequently charging the battery pack 
– when using, charging, or storing in high temperature condition 

 

To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby 

prolonging its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so 
as not to frequently increase its internal temperature.
