Care and Maintenance
If you use your LifeBook carefully, you will increase its
life and reliability. This section provides some tips for
looking after the LifeBook and its devices.
LIFEBOOK
Caring for your LifeBook
■
Your LifeBook is a durable but sensitive electronic
device. Treat it with respect and care.
■
Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable
carrying case.
■
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself.
Always follow installation instructions closely.
■
Keep it away from food and beverages.
■
If you accidentally spill liquid on your LifeBook:
1. Turn it off.
2. Position it so that the liquid can run out.
3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.
4. If your LifeBook will not boot after it has dried
out, call your support representative.
■
Do not use your LifeBook in a wet environment (near
a bathtub, swimming pool).
■
Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are
approved for your LifeBook.
■
Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other
environmental hazards.
■
Do not expose your LifeBook to direct sunlight for
long periods of time as temperatures above 140° F
(60° C) may damage your LifeBook.
■
Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots
when they are not in use.
■
Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.
■
If you are carrying your LifeBook in a briefcase, or any
other carrying case, make sure that there are no
objects in the case pressing on the lid.
■
Do not drop your LifeBook.
■
Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.
Cleaning your LifeBook
■
Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug,
not the cord.)
■
Clean your LifeBook with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do
not use abrasives or solvents.
■
Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen.
Never use glass cleaners.
Storing your LifeBook
■
If storing your LifeBook for a month or longer, turn
your LifeBook off and remove all Lithium ion
batteries.
■
Store your LifeBook and batteries separately.
If you store your LifeBook with a battery installed, the
battery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced.
In addition, a faulty battery might damage your Life-
Book.
■
Store your LifeBook in a cool, dry location.
Temperatures should remain between
-25ºC (13ºF) and 60ºC (140ºF).
Traveling with your LifeBook
■
Do not transport your LifeBook
while it is turned on.
■
Do not check your LifeBook as baggage.
Carry it with you.
■
Always bring your System Recovery CD that came
with your LifeBook when you travel. If you experience
system software problems while
traveling, you may need it to correct any problems.
