Cleaning your LifeBook notebook

■Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not the cord.)

■Clean your LifeBook notebook with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

■Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen. Never use glass cleaners.

Storing your LifeBook notebook

■If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn your LifeBook notebook off, charge the battery, then remove and store all Lithium ion batteries.

■Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you store your LifeBook with a battery installed, the bat- tery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addition, a faulty battery might damage your Life- Book.

■Always bring your backup disk and Drivers and Applications CD that came with your notebook when you travel. If you experience system software problems while traveling, you may need it to correct any prob- lems.

■Never put your notebook through a metal detector. Have your notebook hand-inspected by security per- sonnel. You can however, put your notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems, place your notebook close to the entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as possible or have your notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Secu- rity officials may require you to turn your notebook On. Make sure you have a charged battery on hand.

■When traveling with the hard drive removed, wrap the drive in a non-conducting materials (cloth or paper). If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive if needed. Never put your hard drive through a metal detector. Have your hard drive hand-inspected by security personnel. You can however, put your hard drive through a properly tuned X-ray machine.
