Precautions
Don't spill liquids on the keyboard. If liquid is spilt on the keyboard, turn
your notebook off immediately. Leave off overnight to let it completely
dry out before using it again.
Don't turn off your notebook if a drive light indicates a drive is active.
Turning off your notebook while it is reading from or writing to a disk
may damage the disk, the drive, or both.
Keep your notebook and disks away from objects that generate strong
magnetic fields, such as stereo speakers. Information on disks is stored
magnetically. Placing a magnet too close to a disk can erase important
files.
Scan all new files for viruses. This precaution is especially important for
files you receive via email, disk or download from the Internet. You will
need a special program to scan for viruses. For further information, talk
to your computer dealer.
