Cleaning Your Computer
You should occasionally clean your computer as follows:
Use a soft cloth moistened with nonalkaline detergent to wipe the
exterior of the computer.
Don't spray cleaner directly on the display or keyboard.
Gently wipe the LCD with a dry, soft cloth.
Carrying Your Computer
When carrying your computer, follow these instructions to prevent
possible damage to your computer and data:
1. Remove any media from the CD-ROM drive or diskette drive.
2. Turn off all attached devices.
3. Turn off the computer and close the LCD.
4. Unplug all external cables and cords connected to your
computer.
5. Make sure all computer doors and covers are closed.
6. Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and
protection.
Extending Your Computer's Battery Life
The amount of battery power consumed by your computer depends
on such conditions as the usage frequency, the operating
temperature, and the period of time in storage (if unused). The
following tips can help you to extend the life of your battery:
Whenever possible, use the ThinkPad battery power-saving
modes (See the
IBM ThinkPad 770 User's Guide):
– standby: The LCD and the hard disk drive are turned off.
– suspend: All tasks are stopped and stored in memory to
save power.
– hibernation: All tasks are stopped. The memory data and
the current status of the computer are stored in the hard disk
drive; then the power is turned off.
Decrease the LCD brightness.
