Caring for your convertible tablet
PC
To extend the life of your convertible tablet PC:
■ Be careful not to bump or drop your convertible tablet PC, and do
not put any objects on top of it. The case, although strong, is not
made to support extra weight.
■
When transporting your convertible tablet PC, we recommend that
you put it in a carrying case.
■
Keep your convertible tablet PC away from magnetic fields. Magnetic
fields can erase data on hard drives.
■
Never turn off your convertible tablet PC when the hard drive light
is on because data on the hard drive could be lost or corrupted.
■ Avoid subjecting your convertible tablet PC to extreme temperature
changes. The case (and LCD panel) can become brittle and easy to
break in cold temperatures and can melt or warp in high
temperatures. Damage due to either extreme is not covered by your
warranty. As a general rule, your convertible tablet PC is safest at
temperatures that are comfortable for you.
■
Keep all liquids away from your convertible tablet PC. When spilled
onto convertible tablet PC components, almost any liquid can result
in extremely expensive repairs that are not covered under your
warranty.
■
Avoid dusty or dirty work environments. Dust and dirt can clog the
internal mechanisms and can lead to permanent damage to the
convertible tablet PC.
■ Do not block the ventilation fan slots. If these slots are blocked, your
convertible tablet PC may overheat resulting in unexpected
shutdown or permanent damage to the convertible tablet PC.
■ When storing your convertible tablet PC for an extended period of
time, unplug AC power and remove the battery after discharging it
partway.
