Precautions
You can use your computer under a wide range of environmental conditions. However, to ensure long use and
continued high performance, consider the following factors when setting up your computer:
• Follow all warnings and instructions noted in this documentation and in the Windows Help program.
• The first time you use your computer, we recommend that you carefully read Section 5 Power Management to
familiarize yourself with some battery basics to ensure optimum battery performance
• Unplug the computer from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use aerosols,
solvents, or strong detergents
• Slots and openings in the system cabinet are for ventilation purposes. Do not block or cover these openings or the
system could overheat
• On the bottom of the GoBook, there is a label with information on the power requirements of this system. These
requirements must be followed. If you are unsure of your local power supply, consult your dealer or local Power
Company
• Do not step on or place anything on the power cord
• If you use the computer with an extension cord, ensure that the total ampere ratings of all the devices sharing the
extension do not exceed the rating of the extension cord or the rating of the wall outlet
• Never push foreign objects into the computer through any of the slots or openings. Dangerous voltages are
present, which could cause electric shock or fire, or damage sensitive components
• For best results, use a power strip with a built-in surge protector. Do not use inferior extension cords as this may
result in damage to your computer
