Getting Started

■Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.

■Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting destroys all stored data.

■It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal hard disk drive or other main storage device to external media. General storage media is not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain conditions may result in data loss.

■Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result in the loss of data.

Operating the computer in Tablet mode

Your computer can be used in two ways, as an ordinary laptop PC and as a Tablet PC. You can use the computer as Tablet PC, operated with the supplied Tablet PC Pen, by turning the display panel by 180 degrees and closing it. Refer to Changing to the Tablet mode section in Chapter 4, Operating Basics for details on changing the mode.

When operating the computer in Tablet mode, follow the instructions below.

■Hold the computer firmly on your forearm. Do not block the vent.

■Remove the AC adaptor from the computer when using it in Tablet mode held in your forearm.

■Do not use the computer while walking or driving a car.

■Change to Laptop mode and turn off the computer before carrying it. Do not carry the computer with power on or in Sleep Mode. Do not carry the computer while the Hard Disk Drive indicator is glowing.

■Do not expose the computer to rapid temperature changes (such as would be the case if you brought the computer from a cold environment into a warm room). When rapid temperature changes are unavoidable, leave the computer for around two hours before turning it on to prevent the formation of condensation.

■Remove all external peripheral devices and their connection cables from the computer before carrying.
