Getting Started
Operating the computer in Tablet mode
When operating the computer in Tablet mode, follow the instructions below.
■
Hold the computer firmly on your forearm. Do not block the vent.
■
Remove the AC adaptor from the computer when using it in Tablet
mode held in your forearm.
■
Do not use the computer while walking or driving a car.
■
Change to Laptop mode and turn off the computer before carrying it.
Do not carry the computer with power on or in Sleep Mode. Do not carry
the computer while the Hard Disk Drive indicator is glowing.
■
Do not expose the computer to rapid temperature changes (such as
would be the case if you brought the computer from a cold environment
into a warm room). When rapid temperature changes are unavoidable,
leave the computer for around two hours before turning it on to prevent
the formation of condensation.
■
Remove all external peripheral devices and their connection cables
from the computer before carrying.
■
Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.
■
Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting
destroys all stored data.
■
It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal hard disk drive or
other main storage device to external media. General storage media is
not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain
conditions may result in data loss.
■
Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to
the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result
in the loss of data.
Your computer can be used in two ways, as an ordinary laptop PC and as
a Tablet PC. You can use the computer as Tablet PC, operated with the
supplied Tablet PC Pen, by turning the display panel by 180 degrees and
closing it. Refer to
section in Chapter 4,
for details on changing the mode.
