Appendix

When setting the screen resolution to a resolution below the LCD’s resolution, the images appearing on the screen will 
be stretched. As a result, the characters displayed may appear blurred. This is normal, and not indicative of a malfunc-
tion.

To display large characters with no blurring

Try the following steps while keeping the LCD in its resolution.

z

Click 

 (Start) - [Control Panel] - [Appearance and Personalization] - [Display], select expect for [Smaller - 100%] 

and then click [Apply].
(This function will be enabled after log off the computer.)

z

To display enlarged font sizes in applications such as Internet Explorer:
Use the display enlargement function provided by the specific software application.

z

To display enlarged desktop icons, title bar and cursor or magnify the specific part of the screen:
Use “Icon Enlarger” or “Loupe Utility”.

The keyboard on this computer incorporate a drain system (a moisture protection mechanism) that minimizes the 
amount of liquid reaching the inside of the computer even if water is spilled on the keyboard.
Any water that comes in contact with the keyboard is drained off through holes in the bottom of the computer, so that vir-
tually no water is left inside the computer. However, this is not a guarantee against damage to the hard disk or other 
internal parts, or against the loss or deletion of data.
The drain system is incorporated into only the keyboard. It does not apply to any other components.

z

If you spill water or any other liquid on the keyboard, even a small amount, be sure to perform the following steps. 
Failure to perform these steps may result in damage to the computer. The drain system will not provide complete 
protection against water entering the computer.

1

Immediately turn off the computer, and remove the AC adaptor. 

2

Wipe any water droplets off of the top of the keyboard using a 
soft, dry cloth. 

3

Slowly lift up the computer, keeping it level, 
and wipe any water coming out of the holes 
on the bottom using a soft, dry cloth.

If the computer is tilted during this step, liquid may seep 
inside the computer resulting in damage.

4

Keeping the computer level, move 
the computer to a dry place. 

If the computer is placed back on the wet 
surface, water may seep inside the computer 
from the bottom.

When Using the Computer with a Reduced Screen Resolution

If You Spill Water on the Keyboard

Note that repairs resulting from liquids being spilled on the computer are not free of charge, and not covered by war-
ranty.
