Be gentle with your computer
• Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the keyboard or under
the keyboard.
• Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy objects on your computer,
display, or external devices.

Carry your computer properly
• Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached devices, and
disconnect cords and cables.
• Be sure your computer is in sleep or hibernation mode, or turned off, before moving it. This
will prevent damage to the hard disk drive and data loss.
• When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your
computer by the display.
• Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and protection. Do not pack your
computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.

For outdoor use
• Backup your critical data before you take your computer outdoors.
• Ensure that the battery is full.
• Be sure to turn off the power and close the LCD well.
• When you leave the computer in your car, place it on the back seat to avoid being insolated.
• Carry the AC adapter and power cord with the computer.
„
Handle storage media and drives properly
• If your computer comes with an optical drive, do not touch the surface of a disc or the lens on
the tray.
• Wait until you hear the CD or DVD click into the center pivot of an optical drive before
closing the tray.
• When installing your hard disk, follow the instructions shipped with your hardware, and
apply pressure only where needed on the device.
