Usage Precautions

If You Spill Water on the Keyboard

The keyboard on this computer incorporate a
drain system (a moisture protection mechanism)
that minimizes the amount of liquid reaching the
inside of the computer even if water is spilled on
the keyboard.
Any water that comes in contact with the
keyboard is drained off through holes in the
bottom of the computer, so that virtually no
water is left inside the computer. However, this
is not a guarantee against damage to the hard
disk or other internal parts, or against the loss or
deletion of data.
The drain system is incorporated into only
the keyboard. It does not apply to any other
components.
•
If you spill water or any other liquid on the
keyboard, even a small amount, be sure to
perform the following steps.
Failure to perform these steps may result in
damage to the computer. The drain system will
not provide complete protection against water
entering the computer.
1 Immediately turn off the computer, and
remove the AC adaptor.
2 Wipe any water droplets off of the top of the
keyboard using a soft, dry cloth.
3 Slowly lift up the computer, keeping it level,
and wipe any water coming out of the holes
on the bottom using a soft, dry cloth.
If the computer is tilted during this step, liquid
may seep inside the computer resulting in
damage.
4 Keeping the computer level, move the
computer to a dry place.
If the computer is placed back on the wet
surface, water may seep inside the computer
from the bottom.

5 Insert the tip of a ball-point pen or other
object into the emergency hole on the bottom
of the computer, and move it in the direction
of the arrow to open the disc cover.
The computer should be kept level, without
tilting, while the disc cover is being opened.
Move the computer to the edge of the desk or
table to perform this operation.
6 Check to see whether there is any water
inside the CD/DVD drive.
If there is water inside, wipe it using a soft, dry
cloth.
7 Remove the battery pack.
8 Be sure to contact your technical support
office to have the computer checked for any
malfunctions.
Note that repairs resulting from liquids being
spilled on the computer are not free of charge,
and not covered by warranty.

Operation/Storage Environment

•
Place the computer on a flat stable surface. Do
not place the computer upright. If the computer
is exposed to an extremely strong impact, it may
become inoperable.
•
Operation Temperature : 5 °C to 35 °C
Humidity : 30 %RH to 80 %RH
Storage Temperature : -20 °C to 60 °C
Humidity : 30 %RH to 90 %RH
Even within the above temperature/humidity
ranges, using for a long time in an extreme
environment will result in the computer
deterioration and will shorten the computer life.
