notebook that the contacts on the battery and the notebook
are not soiled or damaged. This could cause malfunctions.

replaced by the user themselves. In this case the battery must
be replaced by a service technician.
Information about the Touchpad
The touchpad is operated with the thumb or another fi nger and
reacts to the energy given out by the skin. Dust or grease on the
touchpad can affect its sensitivity.
− Do not use pens or other objects as these can damage your
touchpad.
− Remove the dust or grease from the surface of the touch pad
with a soft, dry and lint-free cloth.
Protecting the Display
The display is the most sensitive component part of the device as it
consists of thin glass.
The display can break if subjected to too much stress.
− Do not allow any objects to drop onto the display.
− Do not place any objects on the display.
− Do not scratch the display with your fi ngernails or hard objects.
− Never lift the notebook up by the display as this could break the
hinges. Avoid contact between the display and hard objects
(e.g. buttons, wristwatch).
− Always hold the display fi rmly by the middle when folding it
back, adjusting the position and closing it.
− If the screen breaks, there is a danger of injury. If this happens,
pick up the shattered pieces wearing protective gloves and
send them to your service centre for professional disposal.
