Places not to use your computer

Such areas may result in damage to the computer.

Areas with electronic equipment

These areas may interfere with your display or cause your computer to produce strange sounds.

Areas with extremely high/low temperatures

Do not leave things near the computer that are sensitive to heat. During opera- tion, the computer may become warm.

Handling

This computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the LCD and hard disk drive, the leakage of liquid (e.g., water) from the keyboard, etc., but no warranty is provided against such trouble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, please be ex- tremely careful in the handling.

Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects.

Do not stand the computer on its side or allow it to tip over. When the computer receives extremely strong shock after falling, the hard disk or floppy disk drive, etc., may become inoperable.

Do not carry your computer when it is ON.

Remove all cables before transporting your computer.

We recommend preparing a fully charged battery (and optional charger, if possible). When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that the batteries be stored in a plastic bag.

Do not place the computer upright. When the computer receives extremely strong shock after falling, the hard disk or floppy disk drive, etc., may become inoperable. Do not carry the computer while the display is open, or carry it by gripping the display. Do not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the display and keyboard. Always carry your computer with you. Never check it in with luggage. For use of the computer inside an aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines regarding their policy on this issue.

Maintenance

Display

Use a soft dry cloth like gauze to lightly wipe the display.

Areas excluding the display

W ipe these areas with a soft cloth, after apply- ing water or detergent diluted with water to the soft cloth and firmly wringing out excess water.

CAUTION

Do not use benzene or thinner, or disinfectant-type alcohol.

Do not directly use water, liquid detergents or spray-type cleaners. If liquid enters the computer, this may cause the computer to malfunction or become defective.
