  Do not drop or hit the computer against solid objects.
  Do not leave the display open.
  Do not grip the display part.

  Do not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the display and keyboard.
  When you board an airplane, take the computer with you and never put it in your checked luggage. When using the 

computer on airplane, follow the airline’s instructions.

  When carrying a spare battery, put it in a plastic bag to protect its terminals.
  The touch pad is designed to be used by 

fi

 nger tip. Do not place any object on its surface and do not press down 

strongly with sharp-pointed or hard objects that may leave marks (e.g., nails, pencils and ball point pens).

  Avoid any harmful substances such as oil from getting into the touch pad. The cursor may not work correctly.
  Be careful not to get injured by dropping or getting hit when carrying the computer.

<Only for model with touchscreen>

stylus can scratch the screen surface or obstruct the stylus operation.

  Use the stylus only for touching the screen. Using it for any other purpose may damage the stylus and result in 

scratches on the screen.

Follow these instructions and the Reference Manual to avoid any damage to the devices. Carefully read the instruction 
manuals of the peripheral devices.
