Instructions for Care and Operation

The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To ensure that does not happen, follow these suggestions:
1. Don’t drop it. Make sure it’s on a stable surface. If the compu-
ter falls, the case and other components could be damaged. Do not expose it to any shock or vibration.
2. Don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away
from any kind of heating element. Keep the computer out of direct sunlight. Don’t store or use the computer in a humid envi­ronment. Do not place the computer on any surface which will block the vents.
3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capac-
ity transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
4. Keep it dry. This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other
liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged. Do not leave it in a place where foreign matter or moisture may affect the system.
VI
5. Follow the proper working procedures for computer. Shut- down the computer properly, and close all programs (don’t for­get to save your work). Do not turn off any peripheral devices when the computer is on. Do not disassemble the computer by yourself. Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost if the battery is depleted. Perform routine maintenance on your computer.
6. Take care when using peripheral devices. Use only approved brands of peripheral devices. Unplug the power cord before attaching any peripheral device.
7. Do not place anything heavy on the computer.

Preface

Power Safety

The computer has specific power requirements:
• Only use a power adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Your AC adapter may be designed for international travel but it still requires a steady, uninterrupted power supply. If you are unsure of your local power specifications, consult your service representative or local power company.
• The power adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong is an important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a compatible outlet, have a quali­fied electrician install one.
• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not by its wire.
• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total current load of all the connected devices.
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies (i.e. AC adapter or car adapter).
• Do not plug in the power cord if you are wet.
• Do not use the power cord if it is broken.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.
VIII

Battery Precautions

• Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.
• Recharge the batteries using the notebook’s system. Incorrect recharg­ing may make the battery explode.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replacement to your service representative or qualified service person­nel.
• Keep children away from, and promptly dispose of a damaged battery. Always dispose of batteries carefully. Batteries may explode or leak if exposed to fire, or improperly handled or discarded.
• Keep the battery away from metal appliances.
• Affix tape to the battery contacts before disposing of the battery.
• Do not touch the battery contacts with your hands or metal objects.
Caution
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Preface

Battery Disposal

The product that you have purchased con­tains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this bat­tery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for de­tails in your area for re­cycling options or proper disposal.
IX
Preface

Cleaning

Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer, use a soft clean cloth. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.

Servicing

Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may vio­late 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 quali­fied 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 rain or other 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 poison­ous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.

Travel Considerations

Packing

As you get ready for your trip, run through this list to make sure the system is ready to go:
1. Check that the battery pack and any spares are fully charged.
2. Power off the computer and peripherals.
3. Close the display panel and make sure it’s latched.
4. Disconnect the AC adapter and cables. Stow them in the carry­ing bag.
5. The AC adapter uses voltages from 100 to 240 volts so you won’t need a second voltage adapter. However, check with your travel agent to see if you need any socket adapters.
6. Put the notebook in its carrying bag and secure it with the bag’s straps.
7. If you’re taking any peripherals (e.g. a printer, mouse or digital camera), pack them and those devices’ adapters and/or cables.
8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions or require proof of ownership for both hardware and software. Make sure your “papers” are handy (it may be useful to have the computer in standby mode before going through customs).

Preface

On the Road

In addition to the general safety and maintenance suggestions in this preface, and Chapter 7: Troubleshooting. Keep these points in mind:
Hand-carry the notebook.
Don’t check it with “normal” luggage. Baggage handlers may not be sufficiently careful. Avoid knocking the computer against hard ob­jects.
Beware of Electromagnetic fields.
Metal detectors & X-ray machines These devices can damage the computer, hard disk and other media. They may also destroy any stored data - Pass your computer and disks around the devices. Ask security officials to hand-inspect them. (you may be asked to turn it on.) Note: Some airports also scan luggage with these devices.
XII
Fly safely.
Most airlines have regulations about the use of computers and other electronic devices in flight. These restrictions are for your safety, fol­low them. If you stow the notebook in an overhead compartment, make sure it’s secure. Contents may shift and/or fall out when the compartment is opened.
Get power where you can.
If an electrical outlet is available, use the AC adapter and keep your battery(ies) charged.
Keep it dry.
If you move quickly from a cold to a warm location, water vapor can condense inside the computer. Wait a few minutes before turning it on so that any moisture can evaporate.

Developing Good Work Habits

Developing good work habits is important if you need to work in front of the computer for long periods of time. Improper work habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or other joints. The following are some tips to re­duce the strain:
• Adjust the height of the chair and/or desk so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of your elbow. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position.
• Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. Place your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest if necessary.
• Use a chair with a back and adjust it to support your lower back com­fortably.
• Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately 90­degree angles when you are working.
• Take periodic breaks if you are using the computer for long periods of time.
XIV

Remember to:

• Alter your posture frequently.
• Stretch and exercise your body several times a day.
• Take periodic breaks when you work at the computer for long periods of time. Frequent and short breaks are better than fewer and longer breaks.

Preface

Lighting

Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue in your neck and shoulders.
• Position the display to avoid glare or reflections from overhead light­ing or outside sources of light.
• Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and contrast to levels that allow you to see the screen clearly.
• Position the display directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance.
• Adjust the display viewing angle to find the best position.
