Care and Maintenance

If you use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook carefully, you will increase its life and reliability. This section provides some tips for looking after the notebook and its devices.

The system contains components that can be severely damaged by electro- static discharge (ESD). To minimize risk to the components, observe the following precautions:

Be sure to power down your system before adding or removing system components. Even if the system is in hibernate or sleep states, data could be lost or memory could be damaged if power is still available to the system.

When installing or removing a memory module, hold it by the edge so as not to touch any contacts or chips. Be careful not to touch any internal computer terminals or components; the oil from your fingers could cause a short to the compo- nents.

Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operations of this product or similar products, must always be super- vised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical products and do not permit them to handle any cables.

Caring for your LifeBook notebook

Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive elec- tronic device. Treat it with respect and care.

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

Do not attempt to service the computer yourself.

Always follow installation instructions closely.

To protect your notebook from damage and to optimize system performance, be sure to keep all air vents unob- structed, clean, and clear of debris. This may require periodic cleaning, depending upon the environment in which the system is used.

Do not operate the notebook in areas where the air vents can be obstructed, such as in tight enclosures or on soft surfaces like a bed or cushion.

Keep it away from food and beverages.

If you accidentally spill liquid on your LifeBook note- book:

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.

C a r e a n d M a i n t e n a n c e

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

Do not use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook in a wet environment (near a bathtub, swimming pool).

Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for your notebook.

Avoid exposure to 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 LifeBook notebook in a brief- case, or any other carrying case, make sure that there are no objects in the case pressing on the lid.

Never position your notebook such that the optical drive is supporting the weight of the notebook.

Do not drop your notebook.

Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.

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, fully 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 battery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addi- tion, a faulty battery might damage your LifeBook.

Store your Fujitsu LifeBook in a cool, dry location. Temperatures should remain between 13ºF (-25ºC) and 140ºF (60ºC).

Caring for the optional Point and Write Touchpad

The stylus should not be used to tap on the display; it has no effect on the display, and could cause damage to the screen if so used.

Use the stylus gently on the pad so as not to damage the stylus or pad. Little pressure is required for the stylus to work effectively.
