Instructions for Care and Op-
eration
The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To
prevent this, follow these suggestions:
• Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls,
the case and the components could be damaged.
• Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer
and power supply away from any kind of heating element.
This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid
gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.
• Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high
capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong
magnetic fields. These can hinder proper performance and
damage your data.
• Follow the proper working procedures for the com-
puter. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget to
save your work. Remember to periodically save your data
as data may be lost.
Power & Battery Safety
• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this
computer.
• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this
manual.
• Your AC/DC adapter may be designed for international
travel but it still requires a steady, uninterrupted power sup-
ply. If you are unsure of your local power specifications,
consult your service representative or local power com-
pany.
• The AC/DC adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong
grounded plug. The third prong is an important safety fea-
ture; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a
compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.
• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to dis-
connect it by the plug head, not by its wire.
• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use
can support the total current load of all the connected
devices.
• Make sure that your computer is completely powered off
before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container).
• Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong
battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.
• Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or
that appears damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way.
Even if the computer continues to work with a damaged
battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may
possibly result in fire.
• Recharge the batteries using the computer’s system. Incor-
rect recharging may make the battery explode.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack
repair or replacement to your service representative or
qualified service personnel.
