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 supply away from any kind of heating element. This is an
electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the
English
computer could be badly damaged.
• Avoid interfer ence. Keep the computer away from high capacity
transformers, 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.
Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost.
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 fo llowing 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
poisonous 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 continues to work with a damaged battery in place, it
may cause circuit damage, 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.
• 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
personnel.
• Note that in computer’s featuring a raised LCD electro-plated
logo, the logo is covered by a protective adhesive. Due to general
wear and tear, this adhesive may deteriorate over time and the
exposed logo may develop sharp edges. Be careful when handling
the computer in this case, and avoid touching the raised LCD
electro-plated logo. Avoid placing any other items in the carrying
bag which may rub against the top of the computer during transport. If any such wear and tear develops contact your service center.

area for recycling options or proper disposal.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended
by the manufacturer. Discard used battery a ccording to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Note the following information which is specific to polymer
batteries only, and where applicable, this overrides the general
battery precaution information.
• Polymer batteries may experience a slight expansion or swelling,
however this is part of the battery’s safety mechanism and is not a
cause for concern.
• Use proper handling procedures when using polymer batteries.
Do not use polymer batteries in high ambient temperature environments, and do not store unused batteries for extended periods.

Driver Installation
Driver Installation & Power
When installing drivers make
sure your computer is powered
by the AC/DC adapter connected to a working power source.
Some drivers draw a significant
amount of power during the installation procedure, and if the
remaining battery capacity is not
adequate this may cause the
system to shut down and cause
system problems (note that
there is no safety issue involved
here, and the battery will be rechargeable within 1 minute).
Figure 18 - Install Drivers
Driver Installation
General Guidelines
As a general guide follow
the default on-screen instructions for each driver
(e.g. Next > Next > Fin-
ish) unless you are an
advanced user. In many
cases a restart is required
to install the driver.
Make sure any modules
(e.g. WLAN or Bluetooth)
are ON before installing
the appropriate driver.
The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc contai ns the drivers and utilities necessary for the proper operation
of the computer. This setup will probably have already been done for you. If this is not the case, insert the disc and click
Install Drivers (button), or Option Drivers (button) to access the Optional driver menu. Install the drivers in the order indicated in Figure 18. Click to select the drivers you wish to install (you should note down the drivers as you
install them). Note: If you need to reinstall any driver, you should uninstall the driver first
Latest Updates
After installing all the drivers make sure you enable Check for updates (Settings > Update & Security > Check for
updates) and go to the Microsoft Store and click Downloads and updates > Get updates to update all Apps etc.
