Caring for Your Computer
To guarantee a long life for the computer and to ensure it functions optimally,
pay particular attention to the following recommended maintenance
guidelines.
Routine Care
Follow these guidelines to keep the computer working properly:
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the computer in any way.
Do not place anything on top of the device or its LCD display to prevent
damage to the screen.
Avoid using and storing the computer in locations where static or electrical
interference can damage in the internal components.
Avoid using and storing the computer in locations exposed to extreme
temperature fluctuations, likely condensation, or direct sunlight.
Keep the device away from moisture such as exposure to liquids or
precipitation.
Only operate the device with the battery pack installed, even when using
external power. This ensures the computer will have the sufficient power to
maintain and save data when disconnected from the external power
source.
Store the device in its docking station when not in use.
Caring for the Battery
Do not heat, tamper or place the battery in water or near a fire.
Do not subject the battery to unusual forces such as hitting it, stepping on it or
dropping it.
Do not attempt to open or service the battery pack.
Only replace the battery with the same model or one of compatible design.
