Caring for Your OmniBook
The following are recommendations for maintaining your HP OmniBook during
everyday use, as well as preventing potential physical damage or data loss.
To protect your hard disk drive
Hard disk drives, as well as other internal components, are not indestructible and
can be damaged by inappropriate handling and operation.
•
Avoid bumps or jolts.
•
Do not operate the HP OmniBook while traveling over bumpy terrain.
•
Suspend or shut down the HP OmniBook before transporting it. This turns off the
hard drive. A drop of a few inches onto a rigid surface while the hard drive is
operating could cause loss of data or damage to the drive.
•
Carry the HP OmniBook in a padded case to protect against bumps and jolts.
•
Set down the HP OmniBook gently.
To take care of your OmniBook
•
Provide adequate ventilation around the HP OmniBook. Insure that the laptop is
sitting on a flat surface, so that air is able to flow underneath the unit.
•
Be sure to suspend or shut down the HP OmniBook before putting it in a
carrying case or other enclosed space.
•
Do not pick up or carry the HP OmniBook by the display.
•
Do not use the HP OmniBook outside in the rain or snow (inclement weather) or
in any extremes of temperature or humidity.
