Caring for the Computer 7-5
General Guidelines
 Do not expose your skin to the computer when operating it in a very hot or
cold environment.
 Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer when it is closed as this
may damage the display.
 The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to clean the
display but use the included soft cloth.
 LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for
a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by limiting the amount
of static content on the display. It is recommended that you use a screen saver
or turn off the display when it is not in use.
 To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to
automatically turn off as a result of power management.
Cleaning Guidelines
 Never clean the computer with its power on.
 Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the
exterior of the computer.
 Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or detergent
on the display.
 Dust or grease on the touchpad can affect its sensitivity. Clean the pad by using
adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface.
 If the computer gets wet where the temperature is 0C (32F) or below, freeze
damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet computer.
