Magnetic sensor
The magnetic sensor on the computer operates by detecting geomagnetism. Therefore, the
magnetic sensor may not function properly and it readings may be inaccurate, especially in
the following environments.
Inside or near steel structures such as buildings or bridges
• Inside or near automobiles, or near train power lines
• Near metallic furniture or appliances
• When the AC adaptor or other peripheral devices are brought closer to the computer
• Near magnets, speakers, or other objects with strong magnetic fields
The magnetic directions indicated by the magnetic sensor may not be accurate immediately
after purchase or in environments with poor magnetic fields.
In such cases, turn on the computer and move it as follows.
A
Hold the computer so that its keyboard side is facing the ground and level.
B
While keeping the computer level, rotate it 90 degrees or more clockwise, back to its origi-
nal position, and then 90 degrees or more counterclockwise.
C
Tilt the computer 90 degrees or more so that the side of the computer tilts down.
D
While holding the computer vertically, rotate it 90 degrees or more clockwise, back to its
original position, and then 90 degrees or more counterclockwise.
CAUTION
● Hold the computer firmly when moving it. Strong shocks from dropping the computer may
result in damage.
Maintenance
If drops of water or other stains get on the surface of the LCD panel, wipe them off immediately.
Failure to do so may result in staining.
To clean the LCD panel
Use the soft cloth included with the computer. (For further information, refer to “Suggestions
About Cleaning the LCD Surface”
è
Reference Manual
“Screen Input Operation”.)
To clean the touch pad
Wipe lightly with a gauze or other dry, soft cloth.
To clean areas other than the LCD panel and touch pad
Wet a soft cloth with water or a diluted kitchen cleanser (neutral), wring the cloth out thoroughly,
and wipe the dirty area gently. Using a detergent other than a neutral kitchen cleanser (e.g., a
weak alkali cleanser) may adversely affect painted surfaces.
CAUTION
l
Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol since it may adversely affect the surface
causing discoloration, etc.
Do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain
components harmful to the surface.
l
Do not apply water or detergent directly to the computer, since liquid may enter inside of the
computer and cause malfunction or damage.
