Handling Spills; Storing The Computer For Long Periods - Samsung N640 User Manual

Handling Spills

Do not spill anything on your computer. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid
eating and drinking around your computer. If you do spill something on your
computer, turn off your computer, unplug it immediately, and do the following:
If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the
keyboard as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD panel.
Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to use it.
If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as
much of the liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature
for a full day before trying to use it.
Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the
keyboard despite your efforts to dry it.
If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and
denatured alcohol. Do not use water, window cleaner, acetone, aromatic
solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.
Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your
screen is damaged, contact your authorized manufacturer's
service center for a replacement.

Storing the Computer for Long Periods

If possible, leave the power cord connected to the computer and an electrical outlet
when the computer is not in use. This extends the life of the battery and keeps the
battery fully charged.
If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (a month or more),
you should charge the battery until it is completely full. After you have done so,
remove the battery from the unit.
