Your computer is a delicate device that requires careful handling. To
keep it from being damaged, keep these precautions in mind:
Do not allow your computer to be subject to any physical shock.
Do not place anything heavy on your computer.
Do not pour liquid into your computer.
Do not leave any objects (especially metal objects) in the
computer.
Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 in.) away from any
electrical appliance that generates a strong magnetic field such
as a motor, magnet, TV, refrigerator, or large audio speakers.
Use your computer when temperatures are between 5°C to 35°C
(41°F to 95°F).
Do not disassemble the computer.
Do not scratch, twist, hit, or push the surface of the LCD.
Remove the battery pack and keep it in a cool place if you will
not be using the computer for a long period of time.
The removable hard disk drive and diskette drive are also very
delicate devices that need careful handling. To avoid damage, do
not press on them, drop them, or apply any shock to them when they
are removed from the computer.
Do not press on the middle part of the diskette drive.
Insert a diskette straight into the diskette drive. Inserting it at an
angle can damage the front of the diskette drive.
Do not place more than one diskette label on a diskette. Two or
more labels can cause a label to tear apart inside the drive and
cause damage to the diskette drive.
Occasionally clean your computer as follows:
Use a soft cloth moistened with nonalkaline detergent to wipe the
exterior of the computer.
Gently wipe the LCD with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or
detergent.
