This section provides recommended guidelines for taking care of your Compaq Aero 2100 Series. Following these guidelines helps ensure the longevity of your device and reduces the risk of damage.
Routine Care
To keep your Compaq Aero 2100 Series in good condition and working properly, follow these guidelines:
Operate the device with the main and backup batteries installed, even when using external power. This ensures that it has the necessary power to operate when disconnected from external power.
Keep the device away from excessive moisture and temperature extremes. Do not expose the device to liquids or precipitation.
To prevent damage to the screen, do not place anything on top of the device.
Store the device in a protective case when not in use.
To clean the device, wipe the screen and the exterior with a soft, damp cloth moistened only with water.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the internal components, do not spray liquid directly on the screen or allow excess liquid to drip inside the device. Using soap or other cleaning products on the screen may discolor the finish and damage the screen.
Avoid exposing the device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. Also avoid scratching the surface of the screen and banging it against hard objects.
