Taking Care of Your Notebook
Maintenance
Avoid placing the notebook in a location subject to high humidity, extreme
temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the notebook when it is closed as this
may damage the LCD.
To assure smooth operation of the TouchPad, occasionally clean the pad by
using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface.
Occasionally clean the notebook with a soft cloth moistened with water. Do
not use soap or liquid cleaners on the display.
Take care of the battery pack by following the instructions described in
"Important Notes on Using Battery Pack" in Chapter 3.
Traveling
Before traveling with your notebook, it is recommended that you backup your
hard disk data into diskettes. As a precautionary measure, bring along an
extra copy of your hard disk data.
Make sure the battery pack is fully charged.
Make sure the notebook is turned off and the top cover is firmly closed.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the notebook, and take it with you. Use the
AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-recharger.
Allow extra time for airport security. Many airports inspect electronic devices
carefully.
Hand-carry the notebook. Do not check it in as luggage.
If you plan to travel abroad with your notebook, consult your dealer for the
appropriate AC power cord fitting the electricity standard of your destination.
