Handling and Maintenance
l Magnetic sensor
The magnetic sensor on the computer operates by detecting geomagnetism. Therefore, the
magnetic sensor may not function properly and it readings may be inaccurate, especially in
the following environments.
• Inside or near steel structures such as buildings or bridges
• Inside or near automobiles, or near train power lines
• Near metallic furniture or appliances
• When the AC adaptor or other peripheral devices are brought closer to the computer
• Near magnets, speakers, or other objects with strong magnetic fields
The magnetic directions indicated by the magnetic sensor may not be accurate immediately
after purchase or in environments with poor magnetic fields.
In such cases, turn on the computer and move it as follows.
A Hold the computer so that its display side is facing the ground and level.
B While keeping the computer level, rotate it 90 degrees or more clockwise.
C Return the computer to position A, and rotate it 90 degrees or more counterclockwise.
D Return the computer to position A.
E Tilt the computer 90 degrees or more to the left so that the left side of the computer tilts
down.
F Return the computer to position A, and tilt it 90 degrees or more to the right so that the
right side of the computer tilts down.
CAUTION
l Hold the computer firmly when moving it. Strong shocks from dropping the computer may
result in damage.
