- Caring for your LIFEBOOK Notebook
• Keep it away from food and beverages.
• To protect your notebook from damage and to optimize system performance, be sure to keep all air vents
unobstructed, clean, and clear of debris. This may require periodic cleaning, depending upon the
environment in which the system is used.
• Do not operate the notebook in areas where the air vents can be obstructed, such as in tight enclosures or on
soft surfaces like a bed or cushion.
• If you accidentally spill liquid on your LIFEBOOK notebook:
1 Turn it off and position it so that the liquid can run out.
2 Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.
3 If your notebook will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative.
• Do not use your notebook in a wet environment (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 notebook to direct sunlight for long periods of time as temperatures above 140° F (60° C)
may damage your notebook.
• Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots when they are not in use.
• Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.
• If you are carrying your notebook in a briefcase or any other carrying case, make sure that there are no objects
in the case pressing on the lid.
• Never position your notebook such that the optical drive is supporting the weight of the notebook.
Cleaning your LIFEBOOK notebook
• Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not the cord.)
• Clean your LIFEBOOK notebook with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
• Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen. Never use glass cleaners.
• Always shut down the computer, unplug the power adapter, and remove the battery when cleaning or
disinfecting the computer exterior, keyboard or LCD display.
