Preface
Introducing the Rechargeable Battery Pack
With very little care, you can optimize the battery life and maximize the lifespan of the battery. Most importantly, use only the computer in its ideal operating temperature (as described in 1.3. Specifications on page 3) – do not leave it in a hot trunk during the summer.
Important Terms to Understand
“Battery life” means the time the computer will run before it must be recharged (sometimes this is also called “playtime” or “runtime”).
“Battery lifespan” means the total amount of time your battery will last before it must be replaced.
Using the Computer for the First Time
Be sure to fully charge (approx. 4 hours) the computer when charging the computer
for the rst time.
Long-Term Storage & Maintenance
If you are putting away the battery for more than three months, it is recommended that the battery should be stored separately and fully charged, and get recharged every three months. If you store an uncharged battery, it could fall into a deep worn-out state which would render it incapable of holding any charge. Be sure to store your the computer and battery at the proper temperature (as described in 1.3. Specifications on page 3).
Battery Lifespan
The removable batteries for the computer are designed to retain up to 80% of their original capacity after 300 charging and recharging cycles when properly maintained.
You may choose to purchase new battery when it no longer holds the sufcient
charge that meets your needs.
General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the device. When you clean any single part or component for the device, please thoroughly read and understand the details below.
1. We strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before you start to clean any single components.
2. When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth.
3. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use a vacuum cleaner to
absorb the dirt on the oor.
4. Never drop the components inside the device or get circuit board damp or wet.
- x -
Preface
5. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you use it for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
6. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the device.
Cleaning Tools
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of cleaning your devices and peripherals, users can also use household items to clean their devices and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may need or want to use while cleaning your devices or peripherals. Keep in mind that some components in your device may only be able to be cleaned using a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the cleaning.
Cloth:
A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component.
Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, we still recommend you to rub it with a piece of cloth.
Water or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a
bit with some water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the device. Unknown solvents may be harmful to the plastics parts.
Vacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other
particles out of the device can be one of the best cleaning methods. Over
time, these items can restrict the airow in a device and cause circuitry to
corrode.
Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in your keyboard, mouse, and other locations.
Foam swabs: Whenever possible, it is better to use lint-free swabs such
as foam swabs.
Recommended Cleaning Procedures:
1. Close all application programs
2. Close operating software
3. Turn off the computer
4. Remove all peripherals
5. Disconnect the power cable
6. Proceed to clean.
