Caring for the Computer
Keep the computer in good condition and working properly by
following these guidelines:
■ Operate the computer with a battery pack installed, even when
using external power. This supplies the battery pack with a
charge and ensures a fully charged battery pack the next time
the computer is used without external power.
■ Keep the computer away from excessive moisture and
temperature extremes. Do not expose the computer to liquids
or precipitation.
■ Remove the battery pack from the computer if the computer
will not be used for an extended period of time (more than two
weeks). Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place.
■ To prevent possible damage to the display, do not place
anything on top of the computer when it is closed. Store the
computer in a slipcase.
■ Occasionally wipe the exterior of the computer and the screen
with a soft, damp cloth moistened only with water. Using soap
or other cleaning products may discolor the finish and damage
the screen.
!
WARNING: Do not spray liquid directly on the computer screen.
Excess liquid may drip down inside the computer and cause damage
to the components or result in electrical shock.
