Caring for Your Presario Notebook

Your Presario Internet Notebook is designed as a durable product. However, when you transport it, we recommend that you put it in a portable notebook carrying case. To enhance the life of your system, follow these Do’s and Don’ts.

Do’s

•Carry and store your Notebook in a portable notebook carrying case.

•Keep diskettes and modular disk drives away from magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can erase data on your diskettes and your hard drives.

•Keep your Notebook away from extreme temperatures (for example, in parked cars, near heaters, or near open windows). Extreme temperatures can damage your Notebook or cause it to perform poorly.

Don’ts

•Bump or drop your Notebook.

•Put objects on top of it. Even if your Notebook is stored in a durable carrying case, it is not made to support extra weight.

•Leave the CD/DVD ROM door open when it is not in use. It can get damaged.

•Handle liquids around your Notebook. Exposure to almost any liquid can result in expensive repairs that are not covered under your warranty.

•Expose your Notebook to dusty or dirty environments. Dust and dirt can clog internal components and mechanisms.
