Handling and Maintenance

Operation Environment
Place the computer on a flat stable surface not subject to shock, vibration, and danger of dropping. Do not place the
computer upright or turn it over. If the computer is exposed to an extremely strong impact, it may become damaged.

Storage
Even within the above temperature/humidity ranges, operation for a long time in extreme environments, smoking
nearby, or operation in places where oil is used or where there is a lot of dust will result in the product deterioration
and will shorten the product life.
• Be sure to use the computer in an environment with sufficient heat ventilation.
- Avoid using the computer on a highly heat retentive surfaces (e.g., rubber pads and blankets). If possible, use
the computer on surfaces that can dissipate heat, such as a steel desk.
- Do not cover the computer with towels, keyboard covers, etc., as this prevents heat dissipation.
- When using the computer, always keep the display open. (Note, however, that closing the display while the com-
puter is in use does not cause generation of heat, ignition, or other malfunctions.)
- When using the computer in the Laptop mode, the areas around the ventilation holes become especially hot.
Do not hold the computer by these areas in the Laptop mode.
Do not use the computer on your lap for an extended periods of time.
Do not place the computer in the following areas, otherwise the computer may be damaged.
• Near electronic equipment. Image distortion or noise may occur.
• In extremely high or low temperature.
As the computer can become hot during operation, keep it away from items that are sensitive to heat.
Handling Cautions
This computer is designed to minimize shock to parts such as the LCD and the flash memory drive and equipped with a drip-
proof keyboard, but no warranty is provided against any trouble caused by shock. Be extremely careful when handling the com-
puter.
When carrying the computer:
• Turn off the computer.
• Remove all external devices, cables, and other protruding objects.
• Do not drop or hit the computer against solid objects.
• Do not leave the display open.
• Do not pick up or hold the computer by the display part.
• Do not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the display
and keyboard.
When flying on an airplane:
• Carry the computer with you, and never put it in checked baggage.
• Obey the airline's instructions when using the computer on the airplane.
When carrying a spare battery, put it in a plastic bag to protect its terminals.
This computer contains a magnet and magnetic products at the locations
circled in the illustration at the right. Avoid leaving metallic object or mag-
netic media in contact with these areas.
Do not place an object containing magnetic power to the (A) portions. Doing
so may cause the computer to detect mistakenly that the display is closed,
and as a result, the display may go out and the computer may enter sleep.
The touch pad is designed to be used by finger tip. Do not place any object
on its surface and do not press down strongly with sharp-pointed or hard
objects that may leave marks (e.g., nails, pencils and ball point pens).
Avoid any harmful substances such as oil from getting into the touch pad.
The cursor may not work correctly.
If the computer is being carried in a soft bag with the battery pack removed,
avoid undue pressure on the body of the computer in a crowded place, etc.,
as this may result in damage to the LCD.
