Your Notebook is cooled by
air that is drawn in through
the vents and blown out
through the exhaust fan. It is
important to keep the vents on
the chassis free of dust and
debris. Brush any dust away
from the vents with a damp
cloth but do not attempt to
dismantle the Notebook
to clean dust from the inside
of the Notebook. If you
dismantle your Notebook, you
may permanently damage the
components on your Notebook.
Caring for Your Presario Notebook
Your Presario Internet Notebook is designed as a durable
product. However, when you transport it, we recommend that
you put it in a portable notebook carrying case. To enhance the
life of your system, follow these Do’s and Don’ts.
Do’s
Carry and store your Notebook in a portable notebook
carrying case.
Keep diskettes and modular disk drives away from magnetic
fields. Magnetic fields can erase data on your diskettes and
your hard drives.
Keep your Notebook away from extreme temperatures
(for example, in parked cars, near heaters, or near open
windows). Extreme temperatures can damage your
Notebook or cause it to perform poorly.
Don’ts
Bump or drop your Notebook.
Put objects on top of it. Even if your Notebook is stored in a
durable carrying case, it is not made to support extra weight.
Leave the CD/DVD ROM door open when it is not in use.
It can get damaged.
Handle liquids around your Notebook. Exposure to almost
any liquid can result in expensive repairs that are not
covered under your warranty.
Expose your Notebook to dusty or dirty environments.
Dust and dirt can clog internal components and mechanisms.
