Your computer’s TFT display
Small bright dots may appear on your screen display when you turn
on your computer. Your display contains an extremely large number
of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using high-
precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear on
your display are an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT
manufacturing technology. Over a period of time, and depending on
the usage of the computer, the brightness of the screen will
deteriorate. This is also an intrinsic characteristic of the screen
technology. When the computer is operated on battery power, the
screen will dim and you may not be able to increase the brightness
of the screen while on battery power.
Learning the basics
Computing tips
❖
Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory until
you save it to the disk. If the network you are using goes down
and you must restart your computer to reconnect, or your
battery runs out of charge while you are working, you will lose
all work since you last saved.
HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that can be
activated. This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset
intervals. See your software documentation for details.
❖
Back up your files to disks (or other removable media) on a
regular basis. Label the backup copies clearly and store them in
a safe place.
❖
Scan all new files for viruses.
❖
Do not turn off the computer if a drive indicator light indicates
a drive is active.
The Windows
®
operating system records information, such as your
desktop setup, during its shutdown procedure. If you do not let the
Windows
®
operating system shut down normally, details such as new
icon positions may be lost.
