Instructions for Care and Operation
The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent
this, follow these suggestions:
• Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and
the components could be damaged.
• Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power sup-
ply away from any kind of heating element. This is an electrical appli-
ance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be
badly damaged.
• Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity trans-
formers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields. These can
hinder proper performance and damage your data.
• Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the
computer down properly and don’t forget to save your work. Remem-
ber to periodically save your data as data may be lost.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may vi-
olate your warranty and expose you and the computer to electric
shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug
the computer from the power supply. Then refer servicing to qual-
ified service personnel under any of the following conditions:
• When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is damaged or frayed.
• If the computer has been exposed to any liquids.
• If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating
instructions.
• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poison-
ous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.
Safety Information
• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes
for possible special disposal instructions.
• Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears
damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer contin-
ues to work with a damaged battery in place, it may cause circuit dam-
age, which may possibly result in fire.
• Make sure that your computer is completely powered off before putting
it into a travel bag (or any such container).
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any
external power supplies, peripherals and cables (including telephone
lines). It is advisable to also remove your battery in order to prevent
accidentally turning the machine on.
• Use a soft clean cloth to clean the computer, but do not apply cleaner
directly to the computer. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or
abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or
replacement to your service representative or qualified service person-
nel.
