■Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely.

■Keep it away from food and beverages.

■If you accidentally spill liquid on your LifeBook:

1.Turn it off.

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 LifeBook will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative.

Cleaning your LifeBook

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

■Clean your LifeBook 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

■If storing your LifeBook for a month or longer, turn your LifeBook off and remove all Lithium ion batteries.

■Never put you LifeBook through a metal detector. Have your LifeBook hand-inspected by security per- sonnel. You can however, put your LifeBook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems, place your LifeBook close to the entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as possible or have your LifeBook hand-inspected by security personnel. Security officials may require you to turn your Life- Book 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.
