Places not to use your computer
Such areas may result in damage to the computer.
Areas exposed to direct sunlight
Areas with electronic equipment
These areas may interfere with your display or cause your computer to produce strange sounds.
Areas with extremely high/low temperatures
Do not leave things near the computer that are sensi- tive to heat. During operation, the computer can be- come quite hot.
Carrying
It is a good idea to make backup copies on floppy disks and carry them with you. Do not leave a floppy disk in the drive while transporting your computer.
Do not carry your computer when it is ON.
Remove all cables before transporting your computer. Having the optional Port Replicator ( 
page 25) is very convenient.
We recommend preparing a fully charged battery (and optional charger, if possible). When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that the batteries be stored in a plastic bag.
Do not carry the computer while the display is open, or carry it by gripping the display. Do not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the display and keyboard.
Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects.
If you have occasion to ship your computer, make absolutely sure that it is packed with adequate protection.
When flying
Always carry your computer with you. Never check it with luggage.
Maintenance
Do not use a dry/wet (with water) cloth to wipe the display. We recommend cleaning the display with a soft cloth applied with isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol. Please do not use other types of chemicals.
Do not use solutions such as benzene or thinner.
A soft, dry cloth is recommended.
When oil accumulates on the surface of the touch pad, use a damp cloth with dish washing liquid to wipe the surface, or a compact cassette head cleaner to remove the oil. The cursor may not move well when the surface is not clean.
