Important guidelines when using the battery pack.
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/Standby 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,
thereby causing improper operation to it or the computer.
The computer’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will
directly affect the battery pack’s 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/Standby or Hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten
the discharge time.
Touchscreen Guidelines
z
Use the finger or the included touchscreen pen on the display. Using a
sharp or metallic object other than your finger or touchscreen pen
may cause scratches and damage the display, thereby causing errors.
z
Avoid using excessive force that may cause damage to the display.
z
Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen
surface has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from
sticking to it. Not using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special
protective coating on the touchscreen surface.
To remove hard to remove dirt, blow some steam on the particular
area and gently wipe away using a soft cloth.
