Troubleshooting

Disposing of PC and PC batteries

Discard this PC in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. For

further information, contact your local government.

This PC contains rechargeable batteries. After repeated use, the

batteries will finally lose their ability to hold a charge and you will need

to replace them. Under certain applicable laws and regulation, it may be

illegal to dispose of old batteries by placing them in the trash.

Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your local

government authority for details regarding where to recycle old batteries

or how to dispose of them properly. This product contains mercury.

Disposal of this material may be regulated due to environmental

considerations. For disposal, reuse or recycling information, please

contact your local government.

If your hard disk or other storage media contains sensitive data, you

should be aware that standard deletion procedures do not remove data

from the media. These standard deletion procedures include:

Selecting Delete for a target file.

Putting files in the Recycle Bin and emptying the Recycle Bin.

Reformatting the media.

Reinstalling an operating system from the recovery CD-ROM.
The procedures above delete only the initial part of the data used for file

management. This makes the file invisible to the operating system, but

the data can still be read by specialized utilities. If you dispose of the

PC, please delete all the data on its hard disk drive. Doing so prevents

unauthorized use of such data. To ensure your data is not used for

unauthorized purposes, you can:

Physically destroy the hard disk drive.

Use a proven specialized utility to overwrite all data.

Take the hard disk drive to a professional deletion service.
