Maintaining and Caring for Your Notebook
EN-60
Cleaning the Display
Use a soft, dry cloth. In some cases, you can use a small amount of water to
remove streaks or smears. For difficult display cleaning tasks, use a 50/50
mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water. Do not use paper products because they
can scratch the screen.
Cleaning the External Power Connector
The external power connector may sometimes be exposed to moisture and/or
contamination causing an unreliable connection to the external power source.
Clean the connector with a cotton swab dipped in electronics grade isopropyl
alcohol.
Cleaning the RJ-45 / USB Connectors
If the connector pins get dirty, clean the connector with a cotton swab dipped in
electronics grade isopropyl alcohol.
Traveling With Your Notebook
Before traveling with your notebook, make sure you prepare and follow the
precautions described below:
Back up the data on your hard drive to a flash drive or other storage device.
As an added precaution, bring an extra copy of your important data.
Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged.
Ensure that your notebook is turned off.
Confirm that all the connector covers are closed completely to ensure the
device’s waterproof integrity.
Disconnect the AC adapter from your notebook and take it with you. Use the
AC adapter to power the device and charge the battery.
Hand-carry your notebook onto an airplane, train, or bus. Do not check it in
as luggage.
If you need to leave your notebook in a car, store it in the trunk to avoid
exposing it to excessive heat.
When going through airport security, do not carry your notebook through
the magnetic detector (the device you walk through) or expose it to a
magnetic wand (the handheld device used by security personnel). It is
recommended that you send the notebook and any flash drives through the
X-ray machine (the device where you set your bags).
If you plan to travel abroad with your notebook, consult your dealer for the
appropriate AC power cord for use in your country of destination.
