Chapter 7 Caring for the Computer Taking good care of your computer will ensure a trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of damage to your computer. This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing, cleaning, and traveling.
Protecting the Computer To safeguard the integrity of your computer data as well as the computer itself, you can protect the computer in several ways as described in this section. Using an Anti-Virus Strategy You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could damage your files.
Using the Cable Lock You can use a Kensington-type cable lock to protect your computer against theft. The cable lock is available in most computer stores. To use the lock, loop the lock cable around a stationary object such as a table. Insert the lock to the Kensington lock hole and turn the key to secure the lock. Store the key in a safe place.
Taking Care of the Computer Location Guidelines z For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended temperature is between 0 qC (32 qF) and 35 qC (95 qF). Select models support -20 qC (-4 qF) low temperature. z Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using the computer in extreme environments for long periods can result in product deterioration and a shortened product life.
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.
z 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 z 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. z Charge the battery pack between 10 qC ~ 30 qC (50 qF ~ 86 qF) temperature range.
computer in sleep or hibernation mode. – a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten the discharge time. z When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you may experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading. This phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The appropriate operating temperature for the battery is -10 qC ~ 50 qC (14 qF ~ 122 qF).
When Traveling z Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard disk data into flash disks or other storage devices. As an added precaution, bring along an extra copy of your important data. z Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. z Make sure that the computer is turned off and the top cover is securely closed. z Make sure that all the connector covers are closed completely to ensure the waterproof integrity.
