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
English
electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.
Avoid interference. 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 procedur e s 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.
• Note that in computer’s featuring a raised LCD electro-pl ated logo, the logo is covered by a protective adhesive. Due to general wear and tear, this adhesive may deter iorate 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.
Power & Battery Safety
• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual.
• Your AC/DC 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 AC/DC 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.
• Make sure that your computer is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container).
• Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.
• 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.
• Recharge the batteries using the computer’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. Batteri es ma y 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 bef ore disposing of the battery.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
• Do not touch the battery contacts with your hands or metal objects.

Polymer Battery Precautions
Battery Disposal & Caution
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.
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.
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.
Cleaning
• 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.
(For Computer Models Supplied with Light Blue Cleaning Cloth) Some computer models in this series come supplied with a light blue cleaning cloth. To clean the computer case with this cloth follow the instructions below.
• Power off the computer and peripherals.
• Disconnect the AC/DC adapter from the computer.
• Use a little water to dampen the cloth slightly.
• Clean the computer case with the cloth.
• Dry the computer with a dry cloth, or allow it time to dry
before turning on.
• Reconnect the AC/DC adapter and turn the computer on.
Servicing
Attempting to service the computer yourself may violate your warranty and expose you and the computer to electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel, particularly 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 poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your com­puter.
