Caring for your notebook
To extend the life of your notebook:
■
Be careful not to bump or drop your notebook, and do not put any objects
on top of it. The case, although strong, is not made to support extra weight.
■
When transporting your notebook, we recommend that you put it in a
carrying case.
■ Keep diskettes, modular drives, and your notebook away from magnetic
fields. Magnetic fields can erase data on both diskettes and hard drives.
■ Never turn off your notebook when the hard drive light is on because data
on the hard drive could be lost or corrupted.
■ Avoid subjecting your notebook to extreme temperature changes. The case
and LCD panel can become brittle and easy to break in cold temperatures
and can melt or warp in high temperatures. Damage due to either extreme
is not covered by your warranty. As a general rule, your notebook is safest
at temperatures that are comfortable for you.
■ Keep all liquids away from your notebook. When spilled onto computer
components, almost any liquid can result in extremely expensive repairs
that are not covered under your warranty.
■ Avoid dusty or dirty work environments. Dust and dirt can clog the
internal mechanisms.
■ Do not block the ventilation fan.
■ When storing your notebook for an extended period of time, unplug AC
power and remove the battery after discharging it partway.
