In such cases, the computer has to be restarted by using the keyboard (e.g., (47) ). @ The touch pad is designed to be used with a fingertip only. Therefore, avoid the following actions, which may cause damage to the work surface. * Placing any object on the work surface + Pressing down forcefully with sharp-pointed objects (e.g., nails) or hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens) @ Try to avoid having any harmful substances such as oil, come in contact with the touch pad. The cursor may not work properly in such cases. O When the touch pad becomes dirty: Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth such as gauze or a soft cloth first applied with detergent diluted with water and then thoroughly wrung. Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the surface, e.g., discoloration. In addition, do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface. 17 Digitizer (Basic Operation) Your computer is equipped with a digitizer function allowing you to perform the same operations as the touch pad or mouse by touching the surface of the display with the pen (included).

O When the screen becomes dirty: Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth included with the computer. Do not use benzene or thinner, or rubbing alcohol. For more information, refer to “Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface” that comes with the soft cloth. @ Because the digitizer uses electromagnetic induction, it may malfunction in locations such as the following, where strong electrical fields or magnetic fields occur: * Near AM radio base station or relay station antennas * Near some CRT displays that generate strong electromagnetic field noise Even if the digitizer does malfunction, it will return to normal operations when the computer is no longer in close proximity to the locations described above. -Handling-the Pen. @ The pen has a built-in pressure sensor to detect the touch of the pen tip. Avoid strong shocks (such as dropping the pen), excessive pressure on the pen tip, or allowing the pen to become wet. These may result in malfunctions or damage to the pen. O Clean the pen tip and screen prior to operation. Foreign particles can scratch the screen and impede the operation of the pen. @ Use the pen only for the computer screen. Using it for any other purpose may damage the pen and scratch the screen. @ Do not move the pen too quickly. If the pen moves too quickly, the cursor may be unable to 18 follow its movement.
