Taking Care of the Tablet PC

Location Guidelines

Use the computer where the temperature is between 10°C (50°F) and 35°C (95°F).

Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust.

Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For example, do not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the computer.

Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker.

Do not move the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature difference of more than 10°C (18°F) will cause condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.

Do not place the computer on an unsteady surface.

General Guidelines

Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet PC as this may damage the display.

The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to clean the display. Avoid touching it with a ballpoint pen or pencil.

To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the power management from working.
