Taking Care of the Computer

Before you use your computer, take note of these guidelines to ensure proper maintenance:

Keep the computer and AC adapter dry, and do not subject them to extreme heat or cold.

To prevent damage to the LCD display, do not place external devices on top of the computer, even if it is closed.

When you are not using the external device connectors, keep the covers closed to prevent damage to the ports.

Always operate the computer with the battery pack installed to maintain a full battery charge.

Occasionally clean the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth.

Occasionally clean the LCD screen using glass cleaner on a soft cloth; do not apply the cleaner directly to the screen.

Using the Password Function

You can select password security for the entire system or only the SETUP program. This allows you to safeguard all your data or to prevent unauthorized access to your SETUP configuration. The password function is optional; you do not have to set a password.

You use the SETUP program to enable and define a password or disable it. (See Chapter 2 for instructions.)
