Best Practices for Using Your HP OmniBook
The following are recommendations on how to maintain your HP OmniBook during everyday use, as well
as how to prevent potential physical damage or data loss. Hard disk drives and other internal components
are not infallible, and can be damaged by inappropriate handling and operation.
Physical Care
* Avoid bumps or jolts.
- Suspend or shut down the HP OmniBook before transporting it. This turns off the hard drive. A drop of
a few inches onto a rigid surface while the hard drive is operating could cause loss of data or damage to
the drive.
- Carry the HP OmniBook in a padded case to protect against bumps and jolts.
- Set down the HP OmniBook gently. Take precautions against accidental bumps.
- Do not operate the HP OmniBook while traveling over bumpy terrain.
* Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the HP OmniBook. Suspend or shut down the HP
OmniBook before putting it in a carrying case or other enclosed space.
* Do not pick up or carry the HP OmniBook by the display.
* Do not use the HP OmniBook outside in the rain or snow (inclement weather) or in any extremes of
temperature or humidity.
General Use
* Set the brightness of your display to the lowest comfortable level. This will help prolong your battery
charge.
* Back up your work regularly. Copy files to floppy, tape or network drives.
* Use a virus scanning program, preferably one that will run automatically, to check the integrity of your
files and operating system on a periodic basis. Check your disk using "scandisk" and "defrag" utilities.
* Before undocking, you may need to shut down the HP OmniBook.
- For Windows NT 4.0 or other non-Plug-n-Play operating systems, you must shut down Windows and
wait a few seconds to complete disk activity before undocking.
- For Windows 95 or other Plug-n-Play operating systems, you do not have to shut down before
undocking.
