Basic Operation

To Extend the Life of the Display

■Set the display brightness to the lowest comfortable level (Fn+F1).

■When working at your desk, connect an external monitor and turn off the internal display (press the optional TV Now! One-Touch button at the top of the keyboard).

■If you are not using an external monitor, set the Turn off monitor timeouts (for both AC and battery pack operation) to the shortest comfortable interval.

■Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the notebook from changing to Display-off or Standby mode after a timeout period. If you use a screen saver, enable the option to shut off the display after a time delay.

■Do not disable Display-off or Standby timeouts.

■If you are using AC power and have no external monitor attached, put the notebook in Standby mode when not in use.

To Clean Your Notebook

■You can clean the notebook with a soft cloth dampened with clean water or with water containing a mild detergent. Do not use an excessively wet cloth, and take care to keep water out of the case.

■Do not use abrasive cleaners, especially on the display. Do not apply any cleaner directly to the display. Instead, apply the cleaner to a soft cloth, then gently wipe the display.
