ence of more than 10 °C (18 °F) may cause
condensation inside the unit, which may
damage the storage media.
General Guidelines
Do not place heavy objects on top of the
•
computer as this may damage the display.
Do not move the computer simply by grasping
•
the display screen.
To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch
•
it with any sharp object.
LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pat-
•
tern is displayed on the screen for a prolonged
period of time. You can avoid the problem
by limiting the amount of static content on
the display. It is recommended that you use
a screen saver or turn off the display when it
is not in use.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the
•
display, allow the backlight to automatically
turn off as a result of power management.
Cleaning Guidelines
Never clean the computer with its power on.
•
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the exterior
•
surfaces of the computer.
Dust or grease on the touchpad can affect its
•
sensitivity. Clean the pad by using adhesive
tape to remove the dust and grease on its
surface.
If water or liquid is split onto the computer,
•
wipe it dry and clean when possible. Do not
leave the computer wet when you can dry it.
In case water or liquid is spilt into the key-
•
board, immediately turn off the computer
and unplug the AC adapter. Then turn the
keyboard upside down to drain the liquid
out of the keyboard. Make sure to clean up
any part of the spill you can get to. Though
the keyboard of your computer is spill-proof,
liquid will remain in the keyboard enclosure
if you don't remove it.
If the computer gets wet where the tempera-
•
ture is 0 °C (32 °F) or below, freeze damage
may occur. Make sure to dry the wet
computer.
Battery Pack Guidelines
To charge the battery, connect the AC adapter
•
to the computer and an electrical outlet. The
Battery Indicator on the computer glows amber
to indicate charging is in progress. When the
battery is fully charged, the Battery Indicator
glows green.
Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly
•
discharged. When recharging, make sure
4
that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing
so may avoid harm to the battery pack.
The battery pack is a consumable product and
•
the following conditions will shorten its life:
– when frequently charging the battery
– when using, charging, or storing the bat-
tery in high temperature condition
To avoid hastening the deterioration of the
•
battery pack thereby prolonging its useful
life, minimize the number of times you charge
it so as not to frequently increase its internal
temperature.
Charge the battery pack between 10 °C ~ 30 °C
•
(50 °F ~ 86 °F) temperature range. A higher
environment temperature will cause the battery
pack's temperature to rise. Avoid charging
the battery pack inside a closed vehicle and
in hot weather condition. Also, charging will
not start if the battery pack is not within the
allowed temperature range.
It is recommended that you do not charge
•
the battery pack more than once a day.
It is recommended that you charge the battery
•
pack with the computer's power off.
To maintain the battery pack's operating effi-
•
ciency when removed from the computer,
store it in a cool dark place and with 30% ~
40% charge remaining.
Important guidelines
•
When installing or removing the battery
pack take note of the following:
– avoid installing or removing the battery
pack when the computer is in Sleep mode.
Abruptly removing the battery pack may
cause loss of data or the computer may
become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack terminals
or damage may occur, causing improper
operation to it or the computer.
The computer's input voltage and surround-
ing temperature will directly affect the
charge and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when the
computer is turned on. To shorten the
charging time, it is recommended that you
place the computer in Sleep or hibernation
mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charg-
ing time as well as hasten the discharge
time.
When using battery power in an extremely
•
low temperature environment, you may
experience shortened operating time and
incorrect battery level reading. This pheno-
menon comes from the chemical characteris-
tics of batteries. The appropriate operating
temperature for the battery is -10 °C ~ 50 °C
(14 °F ~ 122 °F).
