Taking care of your computer

Handle your computer with care so that you can enjoy this product for a long time.
Cleaning your computer
To clean your computer, unplug all cables and turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power
button for a few seconds. Then wipe the computer screen with a soft, lint-free, and dry cloth to clear stains
and smudges.
Do not use screen cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to
clean your computer.
Protecting the screen with a replaceable film
You can purchase a replaceable film to protect the screen from scratching and extend the life of your
computer. To use a replaceable film, clean the screen first and then apply the replaceable film on the screen.
Storing the computer for extended periods
If you are not going to use your computer for an extended period of time, remove the nano-SIM card from
your computer. Pack your computer with a protective case and store it in a well-ventilated and dry area
without direct exposure to sunshine.
Prevent your computer and adapter from getting wet
Do not immerse your computer in water or leave it in a location where it can get saturated with water or other
liquids.
Protect the cables from being damaged
Applying strong force to cables may damage or break them. Route communication lines, or the cables of an
ac power adapter, a mouse, a keyboard, a printer, or any other electronic device, so that they cannot be
walked on, tripped over, pinched by your computer or other objects, or in any way subjected to treatment
that could interfere with the operation of your computer.
Carry your computer carefully
Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushioning and protection. Do not pack your computer in
a tightly packed suitcase or bag. Before putting your computer in a carrying case, make sure that the
computer is off or in sleep mode. Do not put a computer in a carrying case while it is on.
Handle your computer with care
Do not drop, bend, puncture, insert foreign objects into, or place heavy objects on your computer. Sensitive
components inside might get damaged.
Take care when using your computer in a motor vehicle or on a bicycle
Always prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Follow the law. Local laws and regulations might
govern how you can use mobile electronic devices, such as your computer, while you drive a motor vehicle
or ride a bicycle.
Protect your data and software
Do not delete unknown files or change the name of files or directories that were not created by you;
otherwise, your computer software might fail to work.
