HP 2107AP, 2500 To Safeguard Your Data, To Extend the Life of the Display, To Clean Your Notebook

Basic Operation

To Safeguard Your Data

■Do not use a pointing device or activate any other device that interrupts operation while the system is starting or stopping.

■Back up your work regularly. Copy files to diskettes, CDs, DVDs, and other media, or to network drives.

■Use a virus-scanning program (such as the Norton AntiVirus program included with your notebook) to check your files and operating system.

■Check your disk using the Tools tab in the Disk Properties window.

To Extend the Life of the Display

■Set the display brightness to the lowest comfortable level (Fn+F1).

■If you are not using an external monitor, set the Turn off monitor timeouts (for both AC and battery pack operation) to the shortest comfortable interval.

■Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the notebook from changing to Display-off or Standby mode after a timeout period. If you use a screen saver, enable the option to shut off the display after a time delay.

■Do not disable Display-off or Standby timeouts.

■If you are using AC power and have no external monitor attached, put the notebook in Standby mode when not in use.

To Clean Your Notebook

■You can clean the notebook with a soft cloth dampened with clean water or with water containing a mild detergent. Do not use an excessively wet cloth, and take care to keep water out of the case.

■Do not use abrasive cleaners, especially on the display. Do not apply any cleaner directly to the display. Instead, apply

the cleaner to a soft cloth, then gently wipe the display.
