Psion Teklogix netBook, 32M/64M manual Care & Safety

CARE & SAFETY

When used according to the instructions in this manual, the netBook should remain in good working order for many years. However, there are certain precautions you should take to ensure continued trouble-free use:

∙Do keep the netBook at a room temperature of 0°C to

+40°C (+32°F to +104°F) and avoid sudden extremes in temperature, exposure to direct sunlight or rain, heat sources (electric heaters, etc.), dust, sand, and other fine particles.

∙Do keep the netBook away from strong magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers) and sources of static electricity.

∙Use only the Psion-approved mains adaptor.

∙If you will not be using the netBook for a while, store it in a place that is dry, free from damp, dust and extremes of heat and cold.

∙Do back up regularly. You can use PsiWin to back up your netBook to your PC, or you can make backups on a Memory disk. See the ‘Security & backups’ chapter for more information.

∙To clean the screen: switch the netBook off and use a soft, clean, dry cloth to gently wipe the keyboard and screen. Under no circumstances use water or chemical solvents that may have a corrosive effect. (If the netBook is set to turn on automatically when you open the case or tap the screen, you should turn this preference off before cleaning the screen; see ‘Turning on & off’ for more information.)

Care & Safety 193

∙Do not tap the screen with any object that has a sharp tip or you may damage the screen. Don’t use any type of ink pen, as the ink may be impossible to remove. When not in use, keep the pen supplied with the netBook in its storage compartment.

∙Do not immerse the netBook in water, or any other liquid, or spill liquids onto it.

∙Do not drop, throw, or try to bend the netBook, or press the keys with extreme force.

∙Do not keep the netBook next to credit cards or transport tickets; the speaker magnet could corrupt the information on the magnetic strip.

∙Do not attempt to dismantle the netBook. There are no user-serviceable parts inside and any attempt to do so will render the warranty void.

∙Do not remove the main batteries and backup battery at the same time when replacing them; you will lose all your information if you do this.
