14. Transporting laptop without draining…
Some users might consider to
not
drain the laptop and to just close the
rubber seal while liquid is still trapped inside.
This is not recommended!
The following remarks will explain this in more detail.
Safety of rubber seal
The rubber seal on your laptop is able to hold some liquid inside during
mobile use. However,
it is NOT a 100% foolproof device
.
•
Single drops of liquid might escape through the ventilation hole.
•
The rubber cover might lose its sealing ability over time.
•
It might be damaged from wear and tear.
•
It might be opened accidentally during transportation or usage.
•
Water expansion caused by high temperatures might push it out.
Risk of freezing temperatures
Environmental temperatures
below 5 °C (41 °F)
might cause damage to
pipes and connectors by
freezing
the liquid that is still trapped inside.
High risk of irreparable, permanent damage
Any fluids that leak into the laptop’s I/O ports or ventilation holes or that
otherwise end up on electronical components inside the laptop
will
cause
irreparable, permanent damage to your laptop.
Causes of defects are determined by our RMA technicians upon local
inspection of the device. Defects resulting from accidents, negligence,
or otherwise inappropriate usage are
NOT covered under warranty
.
⚠
Practice utmost caution every single time
when disconnecting XMG OASIS
from your laptop. Drain all liquid from the laptop after use and
keep all
surfaces clean and dry.
⚠
Mobile usage and transportation of laptop with leftover
liquid inside the laptop is NOT recommended!
