BATTERIES

Caring for your Batteries

■Always handle batteries carefully.

■Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.

■Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin- erate the battery.

■Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.

■Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.

■Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.

Increasing Battery Life

■Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.

■If your notebook is running on battery power all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight to recharge the battery.

■Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.

■Set the power management for maximum battery life.

■Put your notebook in Suspend mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it.

■Limit your media drive access.

FLOPPY DISKS AND DRIVES

Caring for your Floppy Disks

■Avoid using the floppy disks in damp and dusty locations.

■Never store a floppy disk near a magnet or magnetic field.

■Do not use a pencil or an eraser on a disk or disk label.

■Avoid storing the floppy disks in extremely hot or cold locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature changes. Store at temperatures between 50º F (10ºC) and 125ºF (52ºC).

■Do not touch the exposed part of the disk behind the metal shutter.

■Never use the floppy disk drive with any liquid, metal, or other foreign matter inside the floppy disk drive or disk.

■Never disassemble your floppy disk drive.

MEDIA CARE

Caring for your Media (DVD/CD/CD-R)

Media discs are precision devices and will function reli- ably if given reasonable care.

■Always store your media disc in its case when it is not in use.

■Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching the surface.

■Avoid storing any media discs in extreme temperatures.

■Do not bend media discs or set heavy objects on them.

■Do not spill liquids on media discs.

■Do not scratch media discs.

■Do not get dust on media discs.

■Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen or pencil. Always use a felt pen.

■If a media disc is subjected to a sudden change in tem- perature, cold to warm condensation may form on the surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or heater to dry media discs.

■If a disc is dirty, use only a DVD/CD cleaner or wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner edge and wiping to the outer edge.
