LIFEBOOK T4200 SERIES TABLET PC

Caring for your Tablet PC

■Your Tablet PC is a durable but sensitive electronic

device. Treat it with care.

■Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying

case.

■Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Any

unauthorized service performed on the computer will

void the warranty.

■To protect your computer from damage and to opti-

mize system performance, be sure to keep all air all

vents unobstructed, clean, and clear of debris. This

may require periodic cleaning, depending upon the

environment in which the system is used.

■Do not operate the computer in areas where the air

vents can be obstructed, such as in tight enclosures or

on soft surfaces like a bed or cushion.

■ 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.

■Do not use your Tablet PC in a wet environment (near

a bathtub, swimming pool).

■Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are

approved for your Tablet PC.

■Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental

hazards.

■Do not expose your Tablet PC to direct sunlight for

long periods of time at temperatures above 140° F

(60° C) may damage your Tablet PC.

■Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots

when they are not in use.

■If you are carrying your Tablet PC in a briefcase, or

any other carrying case, make sure that there are no

objects in the case pressing on the lid.

■Do not drop your Tablet PC.

■Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.

■Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.

Cleaning your Tablet PC

■Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not

the cord.)

■Clean your Tablet PC with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do

not use abrasives or solvents.

■Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen. Never

use glass cleaners.

Storing your Tablet PC

■If storing your Tablet PC for a month or longer, turn

the Tablet PC off, fully charge the battery, then remove

and store all Lithium ion batteries.

■Store your Tablet PC and batteries separately. If you

store your Tablet PC with a battery installed, the bat-

tery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In

addition, a faulty battery might damage the Tablet PC.

■Store your Tablet PC in a cool, dry location.

Temperatures should remain between 13º F (-25º C)

and 140º F (60º C).

■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
