Instructions for Care and Operation

The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To pre-
vent this, follow these suggestions:
• Don't drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the
components could be damaged.
• Keep it dry, and don't overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply
away from any kind of heating element. This is an electrical appliance. If
water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly dam-
aged.
• Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity trans-
formers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields. These can hin-
der proper performance and damage your data.
• Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the com-
puter down properly and don't forget to save your work. Remember to
periodically save your data as data may be lost.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may
violate your warranty and expose you and the computer to
electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service person-
nel. Unplug the computer from the power supply. Then refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the fol-
lowing conditions:
• When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is damaged or frayed.
• If the computer has been exposed to any liquids.
• If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating
instructions.
• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poisonous
liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.

Safety Information

• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dis-
pose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
• Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears
damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer continues
to work with a damaged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage,
which may possibly result in fire.
• Make sure that your computer is completely powered off before putting it
into a travel bag (or any such container).
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any exter-
nal power supplies, peripherals and cables (including telephone lines). It is
advisable to also remove your battery in order to prevent accidentally turn-
ing the machine on.
• Use a soft clean cloth to clean the computer, but do not apply cleaner
directly to the computer. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abra-
sive cleaners on any part of the computer.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replace-
ment to your service representative or qualified service personnel.
• Note that in computer's featuring a raised LCD electro-plated logo, the
logo is covered by a protective adhesive. Due to general wear and tear, this
adhesive may deteriorate over time and the exposed logo may develop
sharp edges. Be careful when handling the computer in this case, and avoid
touching the raised LCD electro-plated logo. Avoid placing any other items
in the carrying bag which may rub against the top of the computer during
transport. If any such wear and tear develops contact your service center.
