Caring for your LifeBook Notebook

■Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive electronic device. Treat it with 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.

■Keep it away from food and beverages.

■If you accidentally spill liquid on your notebook:

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

■Do not use your LifeBook notebook in a wet environ- ment (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 LifeBook notebook to direct sun- light 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.

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

■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.

■Do not drop your LifeBook 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 and remove all Lithium Ion batteries.

■Store your LifeBook notebook and batteries separately. If you store your notebook with a battery installed, the battery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addition, a faulty battery might damage your notebook.

■Store your LifeBook notebook in a cool, dry location. Temperatures should remain between

-25ºC (13ºF) and 60ºC (140ºF).

Traveling with your LifeBook Notebook

■Do not check your LifeBook notebook as baggage. Carry it with you.

■Always bring your System Recovery CD that came with your LifeBook notebook when you travel. If you experience system software problems while traveling, you may need it to correct any problems.

■Never put you LifeBook notebook through a metal detector. Have your notebook hand-inspected by secu- rity personnel. You can however, put your LifeBook notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems, place your notebook close to the entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as possi- ble or have your notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Security officials may require you to turn your notebook On. Make sure you have a charged bat- tery on hand.
