CARE AND MAINTENANCE

If you use your LifeBook C Series from Fujitsu with care, you will increase its life and reliabili- ty. This section provides some tips for looking after the notebook and the battery packs.

CARING FOR YOUR NOTEBOOK

The LifeBook C Series is a durable but sensitive electronic device. Pay attention to the following items when using your LifeBook.

Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying case.

Keep it away from food and beverages.

If you accidentally spill liquid on your notebook:

1.Turn it on.

2.Position it so that the liquid can run out.

3.Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.

4.If your notebook will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative.

Avoid exposure to water, sand, dust, and other environmental hazards.

Do not expose your notebook to direct sunlight for long periods of time as temperatures above 140° F (60° C) may damage your notebook.

Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots when they are not in use.

Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.

If you are carrying your notebook in a brief- case, or any other carrying case, make sure that there are no objects in the case pressing on the lid of your notebook.

Do not drop your notebook.

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

Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen.
