Compaq Armada 1700 Reference Manual page 110

chapter
Keep the computer in good condition and working properly by
following these guidelines:
Operate the computer with a battery pack installed, even when
using external power. This supplies the battery pack with a
charge and ensures a fully charged battery pack the next time
the computer is used without external power.
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture and
temperature extremes. Do not expose the computer to liquids
or precipitation.
Remove the battery pack from the computer if the computer
will not be used for an extended period of time (more than two
weeks). Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place.
To prevent possible damage to the display, do not place
anything on top of the computer when it is closed. Store the
computer in a slipcase.
Occasionally wipe the exterior of the computer and the screen
with a soft, damp cloth moistened only with water. Using soap
or other cleaning products may discolor the finish and damage
the screen.
