Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are identifiable by the label shown.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must, under all circumstances, observe the following points:
•You must statically discharge yourself before working with boards (e.g. by touching a grounded object).
•The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
•Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removing boards containing ESDs.
•Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
•Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.
Energy saving
If you will not be using your notebook, switch it off.
Make use of the device's energy saving functions (see "Working with the notebook"). The notebook uses less power when the power management features are enabled. You will then be able to work for longer before having to recharge the battery.
Energy saving under Windows
If a monitor with energy saving features is connected to your notebook, you can use the Screen Saver tab to activate the energy saving features of the monitor. Select the following item in the start menu:
Settings - Control Panel - Display - Display Properties - Screen Saver - Energy saving functions for the display. You can set additional energy saving functions in the start menu by selecting the following item: Settings - Control Panel - Energy - Extended.
