Protecting Hardware

To protect and prolong the performance of your hardware,
observe the following cautions.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent damage to your hardware or loss of work:
■
Carry and store the tablet PC in the portfolio or an optional
Deluxe Portfolio.
■
Do not place anything on top of the tablet PC, even when it is in
a portfolio.
■
Use the tablet PC only on solid surfaces and in open areas. Do
not allow a hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer,
or a soft surface, such as carpet, clothing, or bedding, to block
the vent.
■
Protect the tablet PC from liquids and excessive moisture.
■
Do not expose the tablet PC to direct sunlight, extreme
temperatures, or ultraviolet light for extended periods of time.
■
Keep all hard drives and diskettes away from magnetic fields.
Magnetic fields can corrupt data stored on hard drives and
diskettes.
■
If the tablet PC will be unused for one week or more, shut it
down.
■
If the tablet PC will be disconnected from external power for
more than one month, shut down the tablet PC and remove the
battery pack. For information about storing the battery pack,
see the "Battery Packs" chapter.

Using Portfolios

To protect the tablet PC screen, Compaq recommends that you
use or transport the tablet PC with a portfolio attached. A slim
portfolio that protects the tablet PC or the tablet PC attached to an
optional keyboard is included with the tablet PC.
An optional leather Deluxe Portfolio that provides additional
protection, has slots for business cards, and accommodates
additional items is available in most regions.
To obtain the Deluxe Portfolio, refer to the Worldwide Telephone
Numbers booklet included in English only with the tablet PC to
contact your authorized Compaq dealer, reseller, or service
provider.
