Operating Basics
Cleaning the computer
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust and use care with liquids around the computer.
■ Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does get wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry completely before you turn it on again.
■ Clean the computer using a slightly damp (with water) cloth. You can use glass cleaner on the display. Spray a small amount of cleaner on a soft, clean cloth and wipe the screen gently with the cloth.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any part of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.
Moving the computer
The computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple precautions taken when moving the computer will help ensure trouble-free operation.
■ Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer.
Check the Disk indicator on the computer.
■ If a CD/DVD is in the drive, remove it. Also make sure the drawer is securely closed.
■ Turn off the power to the computer.
■ Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the computer.
■ Close the display. Do not pick up the computer by its display panel.
■ Close all port covers.
■ Use the carrying case when transporting the computer.
■ When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it does not fall or hit anything.
■ Do not carry your computer by holding protruded portions.
