Caring for the Computer 7-5
General Guidelines
z Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer when it is closed as
this may damage the display.
z The screen surface is easily scratched. Avoid touching it with a sharp
object such as a pen or pencil.
z To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight
to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid using
a screen saver or other software that prevents the power management
from working.
Cleaning Guidelines
z Never clean the computer with its power on.
z Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to
wipe the exterior of the computer.
z Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or
detergent on the display.
z 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.
z If water or liquid is split onto the computer, wipe it dry and clean when
possible. Though your computer is water-proof, do not leave the
computer wet when you can dry it.
z If the computer gets wet where the temperature is 0qC (32qF) or below,
freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet computer.
Battery Pack Guidelines
z Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When
recharging, make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so
may avoid harm to the battery pack.
