Notebook computers are precision machines that require careful handling.

Though your computer is designed and tested to be a durable notebook

computer that functions reliably in normal work environments, you need to

use common sense in handling it.

TransNote handling tips

Your TransNote computer has unique features.

Be sure to do the following:

v To open your TransNote computer, place the spine of your computer flat

and the cutout section towards you. Press the center latch and open the

computer. Continue to gently open the computer until the upper side latch

releases.

v Close the computer in the same way as you open it, or leave the keyboard

side flat and close the notepad side onto the keyboard side. Make sure the

center and upper latches click when you close the computer. Do not close

the computer by lifting the keyboard side onto the notepad, as this might

damage the hard disk drive.

v When picking up your open computer, hold both right and left sides.

Picking up or holding your computer by one side or by the display may

damage your computer.

v When you use the touch screen feature of your TransNote computer, use

either your finger or the pen stylus (colored red) provided. Do not touch

the screen with the ink tip of the pen, or any tool other than the pen stylus.

This might damage the computer display.

v If you put your computer on a soiled or sticky object, such as an oily table,

or if you touch it with a soiled hand, the cover of your computer might be

scratched or peeled, or the color of the cover might be changed.

v To wipe the cover of your computer, use a soft cloth dampened with water.

Do not use any cleaner. If you have the leather cover model, use a soft dry

cloth to wipe the cover.
