The booting up and shutting down of your computer are the times when the hard
disk drive is most fragile because the revolutional speed of the spindle is still
unstable. If vibration occurs at that moment, hard disk sectors are subject to
damage. It is therefore recommended that the computer should not be moved
when booting up and shutting down.
Regular hard disk scanning and reorganization will enhance the accessing to hard
disk drive.
Keyboard
Do not hit the keyboard. Keyboard is subject to deformation and the deterioration
of elasticity if it is hit.
Never let objects (such as crumbs) get into keyboard. Keys are subject to
malfunction if objects get into keyboard.
Touchpad
Always use Touchpad with hands clean and dry, so as to prevent the Touchpad
from malfunction or insensitiveness.
Touchpad is a device of precision sensors. Never use any object with pointed end
to operate it or apply great force to it.
Backup
A laptop computer is your best partner on the road due to its mobility. However, due to
accidental deletion/overwriting, hard disk damage, viruses, act of God (flood, fire), theft and
so on, your files are subject to loss which puts your work on hold. Since the value of your
files is beyond measure, to minimize the possible loss, it is recommended that you should
form the habit of regularly backing up your files, so as have more careless, convenient, and
safer use of your computer.

Except for the password to the hard disk drive, you can also set up a password for the
system. Once such password is set up, you will be asked to provide it to boot up or to
access BIOS Setup. Only correct password allows the following operation of your
computer. Such password functions also to protect illegal accesses to your computer.
