Appendix B. Use, and care Information
Carry your computer properly
• Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off
attached devices, and disconnect cords and cables.
• Be sure your computer is in sleep or hibernation mode, or turned off,
before moving it. This will prevent damage to the hard disk drive and data
loss.
• When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick
up or hold your computer by the display.
• Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and protection.
Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.
For outdoor use
• Backup your critical data before you take your computer outdoors.
• Ensure that the battery is full.
• Be sure to turn off the power and close the LCD well.
• When you leave the computer in your car, place it on the back seat to avoid
being insolated.
• Carry the AC adapter and power cord with the computer.
Handle storage media and drives properly
• If your computer comes with an optical drive, do not touch the surface of a
disc or the lens on the tray.
• Wait until you hear the CD or DVD click into the center pivot of an optical
drive before closing the tray.
• When installing your hard disk, follow the instructions shipped with your
hardware, and apply pressure only where needed on the device.
