CHAPTER 7: Maintaining Your Notebook

Caring for your notebook
To extend the life of your notebook:
•
Be careful not to bump or drop your notebook, and do
not put any objects on top of it. The case, although
strong, is not made to support extra weight.
•
When transporting your notebook, we recommend that
you put it in a carrying case.
•
Keep your notebook away from magnetic fields.
Magnetic fields can erase data on hard drives.
•
Never turn off your notebook when the drive indicator
is on because data on the hard drive could be lost or
corrupted.
•
Avoid subjecting your notebook to extreme temperature
changes. The case (and LCD panel) can become brittle
and easy to break in cold temperatures and can melt or
warp in high temperatures. Damage due to either
extreme is not covered by your warranty. As a general
rule, your notebook is safest at temperatures that are
comfortable for you.
•
Keep all liquids away from your notebook. When spilled
onto notebook components, almost any liquid can result
in expensive repairs that are not covered under a
standard warranty.
•
Avoid dusty or dirty work environments. Dust and dirt
can clog the internal mechanisms and can lead to
permanent damage to the notebook.
•
Do not block the ventilation fan slots. If these slots are
blocked, your notebook may overheat resulting in
unexpected shutdown or permanent damage to the
notebook.
•
When storing your notebook for an extended period of
time, unplug AC power and remove the battery after
discharging them partway.
Cleaning your notebook
Keeping your notebook clean and the vents free from dust
helps keep your notebook performing at its best. You may
want to gather these items and put together a notebook
cleaning kit:
•
A soft, lint-free cloth
•
An aerosol can of air that has a narrow, straw-like
extension
