7-4 Caring for the Computer
Cleaning Guidelines
l Never clean the computer with its power on.
l Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to
wipe the exterior of the computer.
l Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol
or detergent on the display.
l Dust on the IR port can interfere with data transfer. Wipe the port
with a soft, dry cloth.
l Dust or grease on the touchscreen can affect its sensitivity. Clean the
touchscreen by using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on
its surface.
Battery Pack Guidelines
l Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When
recharging, make sure the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so
may avoid harm to the battery pack.
l Operate the computer with the battery pack installed even when using
external power. This ensures that the battery is fully charged.
l If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (more
than two weeks), remove the battery pack from the computer.
l If you remove the battery pack, make sure the battery terminals do
not contact any conductors such as metal objects or water. Otherwise,
the battery may become unusable as a result of a short circuit.
l If you need to store the battery pack, store it in a cool, dry place.
Never allow the temperature to exceed 70 °C (158 °F).
l Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than 3 months
without recharging it.
