Taking Care of the Tablet PC
Location Guidelines
• For optimal performance, use the Tablet PC
where the recommended tempe-
rature is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 50 °C (122
°F). (Actual operating temperature depends
on product specifications.)
• Avoid placing the Tablet PC in a location
subject to high humidity, extreme tempe-
ratures, mechanical vibration, direct sun-
light, or heavy dust. Using in extreme
environments for long periods can result in
product deterioration and a shortened
product life.
• Place the Tablet PC on a flat and steady
surface. Do not stand the Tablet PC on its
side or store it in an upside-down position. A
strong impact by dropping or hitting may
damage the Tablet PC.
• Do not cover or block any ventilation
openings on the Tablet PC. For example, do
not place the Tablet PC on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface. Otherwise,
overheating may occur that results in damage
to the Tablet PC.
• As the Tablet PC can become very hot during
operation, keep it away from objects that are
vulnerable to heat.
• Keep the Tablet PC at least 13 cm (5 inches)
away from electrical appliances that can
generate a strong magnetic field such as a
TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio
speaker.
• Avoid moving the Tablet PC abruptly from a
cold to a warm place. A temperature
difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) may
cause condensation inside the unit, which
may damage the storage media.
General Guidelines
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the
Tablet PC as this may damage the display.
• The screen surface is easily scratched. Avoid
touching it with a sharp object such as a pen
or pencil.
• 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 recom-
mended 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 auto-
matically turn off as a result of power
management.
Cleaning Guidelines
• Never clean the Tablet PC with its power on.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the
exterior surfaces of the Tablet PC.
• If water or liquid is split onto the Tablet PC,
wipe it dry and clean when possible. Do not
leave the Tablet PC wet when you can dry it.
• If the Tablet PC gets wet where the tem-
perature is 0 °C (32 °F) or below, freeze
damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet
Tablet PC.
Battery Pack Guidelines
• To charge the battery, connect the AC adapter
to the computer and an electrical outlet. The
Battery Charge Indicator ( ) on the Tablet
PC glows amber to indicate that charging is in
progress. When the battery is fully charged,
the Battery Charge Indicator glows green.
• 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.
• The battery pack is a consumable product
and the following conditions will shorten its
life:
– when frequently charging the battery
pack
– when using, charging, or storing the
battery in high temperature condition
• To avoid hastening the deterioration of the
battery pack thereby prolonging its useful life,
minimize the number of times you charge it
so as not to frequently increase its internal
temperature.
• Charge the battery pack between 10 °C ~ 30
°C (50 °F ~ 86 °F) temperature range.
A higher environment temperature will cause
the battery pack’s temperature to rise. Avoid
charging the battery pack inside a closed
vehicle and in hot weather con-
dition. Also, charging will not start if the
