Caring for your LifeBook Notebook
■
Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive
electronic device. Treat it with care.
■
Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable
carrying 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 notebook:
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 LifeBook notebook in a wet environ-
ment (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 LifeBook notebook to direct sun-
light for long periods of time as temperatures above

Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots
when they are not in use.

Storing your LifeBook Notebook
■
If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn
your LifeBook notebook off and remove all Lithium

detector. Have your notebook hand-inspected by secu-
rity personnel. You can however, put your LifeBook
notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To
avoid problems, place your notebook close to the
entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as possi-
ble or have your notebook hand-inspected by security
personnel. Security officials may require you to turn
