Care and Maintenance

If you use your Tablet PC carefully, you will increase its life and reliability. This section provides some tips for

looking after the Tablet PC and its devices.

■The system contains components that can be severely damaged by electro- static discharge (ESD). To minimize risk to the components, observe the following precautions:

■Before docking or undocking your LifeBook notebook (when using a port replicator), it is a good practice to always touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity built up in your body.

■Be sure to power down your system before adding or removing system components. Even if the system is in hibernate or standby states, data could be lost or memory could be damaged if power is still available to the system.

■When installing or removing a memory module, hold it by the edge so as not to touch any contacts or chips. Be careful not to touch any internal computer terminals or compo- nents; the oil from your fingers could cause a short to the components.

■Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operations of this product or similar products, must always be super- vised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical products and do not permit them to handle any cables.

■Always follow installation instructions closely.

■Keep it away from food and beverages.

■If you accidentally spill liquid on your Tablet PC:

1.Turn it off.

2.Position it so that the liquid can run out.

3.Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.

4.If your Tablet PC will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative.
