Preface Instructions for Care and Operation The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions: 1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged. Do not expose the computer to any shock or vibration. 2. Do not place anything heavy on the computer. Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating element. This is an electrical appliance.
Preface 3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data. 4. Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget to save your work. Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost if the battery is depleted. Do not turn off the power until you properly shut down all programs. 5.
Preface Power Safety The computer has specific power requirements: Power Safety Warning Before you undertake any upgrade procedures, make sure that you have turned off the power, and disconnected all peripherals and cables (including telephone lines). It is advisable to also remove your battery in order to prevent accidentally turning the machine on. VIII •Only use a power adapter approved for use with this computer.
Preface Battery Precautions • Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer. • Do not remove any batteries from the computer while it is powered on. • Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer continues to work with a damaged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire.
Preface Cleaning Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer; use a soft clean cloth. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer. Servicing Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may violate your warranty and expose you and the computer to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer from the power supply.
Preface Travel Considerations Packing As you get ready for your trip, run through this list to make sure the system is ready to go: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Check that the battery pack and any spares are fully charged. Power off the computer and peripherals. Close the display panel and make sure it’s latched. Disconnect the AC/DC adapter and cables. Stow them in the carrying bag. The AC/DC adapter uses voltages from 100 to 240 volts so you won’t need a second voltage adapter.
Preface On the Road In addition to the general safety and maintenance suggestions in this preface, and Chapter 8: Troubleshooting, keep these points in mind: Hand-carry the notebook - For security, don’t let it out of your sight. In some areas, computer theft is very common. Don’t check it with normal luggage. Baggage handlers may not be sufficiently careful. Avoid knocking the computer against hard objects.
Preface Developing Good Work Habits Developing good work habits is important if you need to work in front of the computer for long periods of time. Improper work habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or other joints. The following are some tips to reduce the strain: • Adjust the height of the chair and/or desk so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of your elbow. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position.
Preface Lighting Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue in your neck and shoulders. • • • • Position the display to avoid glare or reflections from overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and contrast to levels that allow you to see the screen clearly. Position the display directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance. Adjust the display-viewing angle to find the best position.
