Care and Maintenance

If you use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook carefully, you
will increase its life and reliability. This section provides
some tips for looking after the notebook and its devices.

Caring for your LifeBook notebook

■

Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive
electronic device. Treat it with respect and care.

■

Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carry 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 notebook will not boot after it has dried

out, call your support representative.

■

Do not use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook in a wet
environment (near a bathtub, swimming pool).

■

Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are
approved for your notebook.

■

Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental
hazards.

■

Do not expose your notebook to direct sunlight for
long periods of time as temperatures above 140° F
(60° C) may damage your notebook.

■

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 notebook in a brief-
case, or any other carrying case, make sure that there
are no objects in the case pressing on the lid.

■

Do not drop your notebook.

■

Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.

Cleaning your LifeBook notebook

■

Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not
the cord.)

■

Clean your LifeBook notebook 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 notebook

■

If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn
your LifeBook notebook off, fully charge all batteries,
and remove and store all Lithium ion batteries.

■

Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you
store your LifeBook with a battery installed, the bat-
tery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In
addition, a faulty battery might damage your Life-
Book.

■

Store your Fujitsu LifeBook in a cool, dry location.
Temperatures should remain between 13ºF (-25ºC)
and 140ºF (60ºC).

Traveling with your LifeBook notebook

■

Do not transport your notebook while it is turned on.

■

Do not check your notebook as baggage. Carry it with
you.

■

Always bring your backup disk and Drivers and
Applications CD that came with your notebook when
you travel. If you experience system software problems
while traveling, you may need it to correct any
problems.

■

Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling over-
seas. Check the following diagram to determine which
plug adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.
