This computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the LCD and hard disk drive, etc., but no warranty is provided against such trouble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, be extremely careful in the handling.
Do not carry the computer while the display is open, or carry it by gripping the display or the cabinet around the display (see figure A). When closing the display, ensure that the latch is positioned correctly in the slot ( 
page 10).
Do not carry your computer when the power is on. Lay the carrying cloth that comes with the computer across the keyboard (see figure B), and close the display gently. When closing the display, take care to ensure that the carrying cloth does not get caught in

When transporting a spare battery pack inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are protected.
