In addition, the WinBookXP5 has a thermostatically controlled cooling fan that cools the CPU
when the computer is turned on. Make sure you don't block the fan's air vent on the underside of
the computer.
Dirt - Computers, particularly notebook computers, are fastidious. They don't like to get dirty
(they don't like baths either so don't get ideas.) Don't let dirt or dust build up, or you're asking for
at best fitful performance, and more likely, outright malfunction. There are a number of places
that will allow dirt and dust and who-knows-what into the computer. The trackball assembly,
keyboard, microphone orifice, floppy disk drive, PCMCIA compartment, and audio jacks are all
particularly susceptible to contamination. Try to keep the computer in the case (or at least closed)
when you aren't using it, and keep your work space clean.
Electricity - It's fickle. It runs through a lot of things in your computer, including things you
probably don't know about, so avoid temptation. Except for PCMCIA cards and the AC adapter,
never connect or disconnect anything from your WinBook while it is turned on or is in the
Suspend-to-RAM state. You may get away with it once in a while, but unless Russian Roulette is
your favorite parlor game, err on the side of caution and you won't have to pay for it.
Also, you should always plug the AC adapter into a protected outlet strip rather than directly into
an electrical outlet.
