To Safeguard Your Data; To Extend The Life Of The Display - HP Pavilion N3210 Setup Manual

Note

To safeguard your data

Do not touch the touch pad or activate any other device that interrupts operation while
the system is starting or stopping.
Back up your work regularly. Copy files to floppy, tape or network drives.
Use a virus-scanning program, such as the included VirusScan, to check the integrity
of your files and operating system. Since new viruses appear frequently, you will also
want to update the program's virus definitions from time to time; updates are on the
Web at www.networkassociates.com.
Check your disk using the scandisk utility.

To extend the life of the display

Observe the following guidelines to extend the life of the backlight in the computer
display.
When working at your desk, connect an external monitor and turn off the internal
display (Fn+F12).
If you are not using an external monitor, set the Turn off monitor timeouts (for both
AC and battery operation) to the shortest comfortable interval.
There are two types of LCD display available when you buy your notebook PC: HPA
(high-performance addressing) and TFT (thin film transistor). HPA uses a passive-
matrix technology that produces better contrast than conventional LCD displays. TFT,
an active-matrix technology, is somewhat more expensive; it provides a crisper,
brighter display that is visible from a greater angle.
