10 - Computer Basics

• If you spill liquid on your computer, switch it off immediately, unplug the

AC adapter, remove the battery and make sure it is completely dry
before switching it on again. Wait overnight if necessary.

Note: If your computer includes slots for memory cards or expansion
devices, plastic ’dummies’ may be installed in the card slots. Dummies
protect unused slots from dust, metal objects or other particles. Save
the dummies for use when no cards are in the slots.

Servicing your computer

Do not attempt to service your computer yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other risks. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Unplug your computer from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel when:
• the power cord or plug is damaged, cut or frayed,
• liquid was spilled into the product,
• the product was exposed to rain or water,
• the product has been dropped or the case has been damaged,
• the product exhibits a distinct change in performance,
• the product does not operate normally after following the operating

instructions

Note: Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions, since improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to normal condition.
