Taking Care of Your Notebook

Maintenance

Avoid placing the notebook in locations with high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the notebook when it is closed, as this may damage the LCD.

To assure smooth operation of the touchpad, occasionally clean the pad by using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface.

Occasionally clean the notebook with a soft cloth moistened with water. Do not use soap or liquid cleaners on the display.

Take care of the battery pack by following the instructions described in “Important Notes on Using Battery Pack” in Chapter 3.

Traveling

Make sure the battery pack is fully charged.

Make sure the notebook is turned off and the top cover is firmly closed.

Disconnect the AC adapter from the notebook and take it with you. Use the AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-recharger.

Allow extra time for airport security. Many airports inspect electronic devices carefully.

Hand-carry the notebook. Do not check it in as luggage.

If you plan to travel abroad with your notebook, consult your dealer for the appropriate AC power cord fitting the electricity standard of your destination.
