Maintenance
The notebook requires little physical maintenance. As with any piece of electrical
equipment, however, you should follow a few simple maintenance routines and
precautions so that your notebook can provide outstanding performance for many
years to come.
Check the AC power cord and power connectors periodically for damage. Replace
the power cord immediately if damage is found.
Keep your notebook away from rain, snow, excessive humidity, direct sunlight,
high temperatures, and extreme cold.
Do not smoke near your notebook.
Do not eat or drink near your notebook to avoid spillage.
Try to avoid dusty environments since dust can cause damage to your disks and
drives.
Never subject your notebook to sudden shocks or extreme vibration. Do not drop
it or hit it with other equipment.
If you suddenly move your notebook from a cold place to a warm place,
undesirable moisture may condense inside the unit. After sudden temperature
changes, allow the notebook to come to room temperature before you begin using
it. This allows any moisture inside the notebook to evaporate.
The LCD Screen
Avoid scratching the surface of the screen.
Do not leave water droplets on the screen. Water can cause permanent staining.
Do not expose the LCD screen to bright sunlight or ultra-violet radiation.
Do not expose the LCD screen to extreme temperatures. Freezing and liquefaction
of the liquid crystals may result in damage to the display.
