Tips for Using Your Computer
The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your
computer:
Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids
yourwarranty.Onlyan authorisedmanufacturerservicecenter can replace or
add any parts inside the chassis.
Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.
•
The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent
•
damage, avoid touching the screen.
Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other
•
options.
Becausea notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around
•
components,it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer.A fan inside
your computer runs when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent
on the left side of your computer is not blocked when you use the computer.
Occasionally check the vents and remove any accumulated dust on the outside.
Avoid using or storing the computer in extremelyhot or cold areas, such as a
•
car on a hot day. Keep the computer away from heatersand out of direct
sunlight. Exposure to e xcessive heat may damage computer components. If you
have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool down slowly to room
temperature (with the LCD panel open) before using it.
12 Users Manual
Do not remove the memory-module compartment door, or try to install a
•
memory module when the computer is on.
(For information on installing memory modules, see “Installing a Memory
Module” on page 67.)
Set up your computer work area to avoid physical strain. Sit with your back
•
straight and supported by your chair. Adjust your chair or work table so that
your arms and wrists can remain in a relaxed position, parallelwith the floor.
Avoid bending or twisting your wr ists as you work. Your hands should “f lo at”
slightly above the keyboard. Refer to a book on office ergonomics for more
information on setting up your work area.
Take frequent breaks from working at the computer to rest your eyes and
•
stretch your muscles.
Rememberto saveyour data files frequently and to make backup copies of your
•
files.
Travelling with Your Computer
If you are travelling by air, follow these tips:
Take the computer with you as carry-on luggage. Do not check the computer
•
with your baggage.
Allow the computer and disks to go through the X-ray security devices. Do not
•
hand-carry disks through the walk-through metal detectors, which can cause
loss of data.
Please collect your computer immediately after X-ray scanning, this is a high
•
theft area for portable computers.
Make sure that the battery is charged or the power cord is easily accessible.
•
You may be required to turn on the computer for airport security personnel.
Be prepared to turn off the computerduring take off and landing.
•
Handling Spills
Do not s pill anything on your c omputer. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating
and drinking around your computer. If you do spill something on your computer, turn
off your c omputer, unplug it immediately, and do the following:
If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the
•
keyboard as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD p anel.
Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to use it.
If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as
•
much of the liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature
for a full day before trying to use it.
Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the keyboard despite your
efforts to dry it.
If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and
•
denatured alcohol or a proprietary LCD screen cleaner. Do not use water,
window cleaner, acetone, aromatic solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.
Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your screen is damaged,
contact your authorized manufacturer’s service center for a replacement.
Using Your Computer for the First Time 13
Storing the Computer for Long Periods
If possible, leave the power cord connected to the computer and an electrical outlet
when the computer is not in use. This extends the life of the battery and keeps the
battery fully charged.
If you will not be using the computer for a lo n g period of time (a month or more), you
shouldchargethe battery untilitis completelyfull.After you have doneso,remove the
battery from the unit.
