IBM ThinkPad 310E/310ED: User's Guide
Your computer is a delicate device that requires careful handling.
To keep it from being damaged, keep these precautions in mind:
•
Do not place anything heavy on your computer.
•
Do not scratch, twist, hit, or press the surface of the LCD.
•
Keep the computer at least 130 mm (5 in.) away from any
electrical appliance that generates a strong magnetic field (for
example, magnets, motors, TVs, refrigerators, or large audio
speakers).
•
Use your computer when the temperature is from 10°C to 35°C
(50°F to 95°F).
•
Remove the battery pack and keep it in a cool place if you do
not plan to use the computer for a long period of time.
•
Do not disassemble the computer.
•
Do not leave any objects (especially metal objects) in the
computer.
•
Do not pour liquids into the computer.
•
Do not drop or apply shock to your computer.
The hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, and diskette drive are very
delicate devices that need careful handling. To avoid damage, do
not press on, drop, or apply any shock to them.
•
Do not press on the middle part of the CD-ROM drive or the
diskette drive at any time.
•
Do not touch the lens on the CD-ROM tray.
•
Do not use benzene, thinners, or other cleaners to clean the lens
on the CD-ROM tray. Use a CD-ROM cleaner kit.
•
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.
•
Insert a diskette straight into the diskette drive. Inserting it at an
angle can damage the front of the diskette drive.
