Instructions for Care and Operation

The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:

1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.

• Do not place it on an unstable surface.

• Do not place anything heavy on the computer

2. 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 computer could be badly damaged.

• Do not expose it to excessive heat.

• Do not leave it in a place where foreign matter or moisture may affect the system.

• Don’t store the computer in a humid environment.

3. 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.

4. Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget to
save your work.

• Do not turn off the power until you properly shut down all programs.

• Do not turn off any peripheral devices when the computer is on.

• Do not disassemble the computer by yourself.

• Perform routine maintenance on your computer.

VI

5. Take care when using peripheral devices.

• Use only approved brands of peripherals.

• Unplug the power cord before attaching peripheral devices.

Power Safety



Power Safety

Warning

Before you undertake
any upgrade proce­dures, make sure that
you have turned off the
power, and discon­nected all peripherals
and cables (including
telephone lines). It is
advisable to also re­move your battery in
order to prevent acci­dentally turning the
machine on.

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 ground ed 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 disconne ct 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.

Preface

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.

Preface

Polymer Battery Precautions

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.

Battery Guidelines

The following can also apply to any backup batteries you may have.

• If you do not use the battery for an extended period, then remove the battery from the computer for storage.
