Preface

Instructions for Care and Operation

The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:

1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be

damaged.

2. 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 damaged.

Do not expose the computer

to any shock or vibration.

Do not place it on an unstable

surface.

Do not place anything heavy

on the computer.

Do not expose it to excessive

heat or direct sunlight.

Do not leave it in a place

where foreign matter or mois-

ture may affect the system.

Don’t use or store the com-

puter in a humid environment.

Do not place the computer on

any surface which will block

the vents.

Preface

3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and

other strong magnetic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.

4. Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer down properly and

don’t forget to save your work.Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost if the

battery is depleted.

5. Take care when using peripheral devices.

Do not turn off the power

until you properly shut down

all programs.

Do not turn off any peripheral

devices when the computer is

on.

Do not disassemble the com-

puter by yourself.

Perform routine maintenance

on your computer.

Use only approved brands of

peripherals.

Unplug the power cord before

attaching peripheral devices.

Preface

Power Safety

The computer has specific power requirements:

• Only use a power adapter approved for use with this computer.

• Your AC adapter may be designed for international travel but it still requires a

steady, uninterrupted power supply. If you are unsure of your local power specifi-

cations, consult your service representative or local power company.

• The power adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The

third prong is an important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not

have access to a compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.

• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head,

not by its wire.

• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total cur-

rent load of all the connected devices.

• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external

power supplies (i.e. AC adapter or car adapter).

Do not plug in the power

cord if you are wet.

Do not use the power cord if

it is broken.

Do not place heavy objects

on the power cord.

order to prevent acci-

dentally turning the

machine on.

the computer to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer

from the power supply. Then refer servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the following con-

ditions:

• When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is damaged or frayed.

Preface

Travel Considerations

Packing

As you get ready for your trip, run through this list to make sure the system is ready to go:

1. Check that the battery pack and any spares are fully charged.

2. Power off the computer and peripherals.

3. Close the display panel and make sure it’s latched.

4. Disconnect the AC adapter and cables. Stow them in the carrying bag.

5. The AC adapter uses voltages from 100 to 240 volts so you won’t need a second voltage adapter.

However, check with your travel agent to see if you need any socket adapters.

6. Put the notebook in its carrying bag and secure it with the bag’s straps.

7. If you’re taking any peripherals (e.g. a printer, mouse or digital camera), pack them and those

devices’ adapters and/or cables.

8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions or require proof of ownership

for both hardware and software. Make sure your “papers” are handy (it may be useful to have the

computer in a sleep mode before going through customs).
