Routine Care

You can keep the computer in good condition and working properly
by following these guidelines:
Operate the computer with a battery pack installed, even when
you're using external power. This supplies the battery with a
constant trickle charge and ensures a fully charged battery pack
the next time you turn on the computer.
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture and
temperature extremes. Do not expose the computer to liquids or
precipitation.
Remove the battery pack from the computer if the computer will
not be used for an extended period (more than two weeks). Store
the battery pack in a cool, dry place when it is not in use.
To prevent possible damage to the display, do not place anything
on top of the computer when it is closed. Store the computer in
the slipcase.
Occasionally wipe the exterior of the computer and the screen
with a soft, damp cloth moistened only with water.
Avoid exposing the computer to direct sunlight or strong
ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. Also avoid
scratching the surface of the screen and banging it against hard
objects.
9-2 Caring for the Computer
CAUTION: Using soap or other cleaning products on the screen
may discolor the finish and damage the screen. Do not spray
liquid directly on the computer screen. Excess liquid may drip
down inside the computer and cause damage to the components
or result in electrical shock.
