111 - Caring for your LifeBook Notebook
• Your notebook is a durable but sensitive electronic device. Treat it with respect and care.
• Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying case.
• Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely.
• Keep it away from food and beverages.
• To protect your notebook from damage and to optimize system performance, be sure to keep all air
all vents unobstructed, clean, and clear of debris. This may require periodic cleaning, depending
upon the environment in which the system is used.
• Do not operate the notebook in areas where the air vents can be obstructed, such as in tight
enclosures or on soft surfaces like a bed or cushion.
• If you accidentally spill liquid on your LifeBook notebook:
1 Turn it off.
2 Position it so that the liquid can run out.
3 Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.
4 If your notebook will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative.
• Do not use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook in a wet environment (near a bathtub, swimming pool).
• Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for your notebook.
• Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental hazards.
• Do not expose your notebook to direct sunlight for long periods of time as temperatures above 140°
F (60° C) may damage your notebook.
• Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots when they are not in use.
• Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.
• If you are carrying your LifeBook notebook in a briefcase, or any other carrying case, make sure
that there are no objects in the case pressing on the lid.
• Never position your notebook such that the optical drive is supporting the weight of the notebook.
