Caring for your computer

This section gives tips on cleaning and moving your computer. For information about taking care of your computer’s battery, see “Running the computer on battery power” on page 105.

Cleaning the computer

Keep liquids, including cleaning fluid, out of the computer’s keyboard, speaker grille, and other openings. Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.

To keep your computer clean, gently wipe the display panel and exterior case with a lightly dampened cloth.

Moving the computer

Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure all disk activity has ended (the drive in-use light stops glowing) and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.

Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back (where the ports are located). Doing so could damage the system.

Using a computer lock

You may want to secure your computer to a heavy object such as your desk. The easiest way to do this is to purchase an optional computer lock cable. For more information on purchasing a cable lock. visit accessories.toshiba.com.
