Caring For Your Computer
This section gives tips on cleaning and moving your computer. For
information about taking care of your computer’s battery, see “Running
the computer on battery power” in chapter 4.
Cleaning the computer
To keep your computer clean, gently wipe the display panel and exterior
case with a lightly dampened cloth. Ask your TOSHIBA dealer for
suggestions for appropriate cleaning products.
Keep liquid, including cleaning fluid, out of the computer’s keyboard,
speaker grille, and other openings. Never spray cleaner directly onto the
computer. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the
computer.
Moving the computer
Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure that all
disk activity has ended (check the system status indicator LEDs) and that
all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
Don’t pick up the computer by its display/panel or by the back (where the
ports are located).
