Lenovo G450/G550 User Guide V2.0

Appendix B. Use, and care information

- Whenever possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-protective packaging

and install the part without setting it down. When this is not possible, place the static-

protective packaging on a smooth, level surface and place the part on it.

- Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

 Be gentle with your computer

• Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the keyboard or under

the keyboard.

• Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy objects on your computer,

display, or external devices.

• Avoid turning the display beyond 130°.

 Carry your computer properly

• Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached devices, and

disconnect cords and cables.

• Be sure your computer is in sleep or hibernation mode, or turned off, before moving it. This

will prevent damage to the hard disk drive and data loss.

• When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your

computer by the display.

• Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and protection. Do not pack your

computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.

 For outdoor use

• Backup your critical data before you take your computer outdoors.

• Ensure that the battery is full.

• Be sure to turn off the power and close the LCD well.

• When you leave the computer in your car, place it on the back seat to avoid being insolated.

• Carry the AC adapter and power cord with the computer.

 Handle storage media and drives properly

• If your computer comes with an optical drive, do not touch the surface of a disc or the lens on

the tray.

• Wait until you hear the CD or DVD click into the center pivot of an optical drive before

closing the tray.

• When installing your hard disk, follow the instructions shipped with your hardware, and

apply pressure only where needed on the device.
