LIFEBOOK T4200 SERIES TABLET PC
Caring for your Tablet PC
■
Your Tablet PC 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. Any
unauthorized service performed on the computer will
void the warranty.
■
To protect your computer from damage and to opti-
mize system performance, be sure to keep all air all
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 computer in areas where the air
vents can be obstructed, such as in tight enclosures or
on soft surfaces like a bed or cushion.
■
Always follow installation instructions closely.
■
Keep it away from food and beverages.
■
If you accidentally spill liquid on your Tablet PC:
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 Tablet PC will not boot after it has dried
out, call your support representative.
■
Do not use your Tablet PC in a wet environment (near
a bathtub, swimming pool).
■
Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are
approved for your Tablet PC.
■
Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental
hazards.
■
Do not expose your Tablet PC to direct sunlight for
long periods of time as temperatures above 140° F
(60° C) may damage your Tablet PC.
■
Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots
when they are not in use.
■
If you are carrying your Tablet PC in a briefcase, or
any other carrying case, make sure that there are no
objects in the case pressing on the lid.
■
Do not drop your Tablet PC.
■
Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.
■
Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.
Cleaning your Tablet PC
■
Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not
the cord.)
■
Clean your Tablet PC 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.
Storing your Tablet PC
■
If storing your Tablet PC for a month or longer, turn
the Tablet PC off, fully charge the battery, then remove
and store all Lithium ion batteries.
■
Store your Tablet PC and batteries separately. If you
store your Tablet PC with a battery installed, the bat-
tery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In
addition, a faulty battery might damage the Tablet PC.
■
Store your Tablet PC in a cool, dry location.
Temperatures should remain between 13º F (-25º C)
and 140º F (60º C).
■
The system contains components that
can be severely damaged by electro-
static discharge (ESD). To minimize risk
to the components, observe the
following precautions:
■
Before docking or undocking your
LifeBook notebook (when using a port
replicator), it is a good practice to
always touch a grounded metal object
to discharge static electricity built up
in your body.
■
Be sure to power down your system
before adding or removing system
components. Even if the system is in
hibernate or standby states, data
could be lost or memory could be
damaged if power is still available to
the system.
■
When installing or removing a
memory module, hold it by the edge
so as not to touch any contacts or
chips. Be careful not to touch any
internal computer terminals or compo-
nents; the oil from your fingers could
cause a short to the components.
■
Electrical equipment may be hazardous if
misused. Operations of this product or
similar products, must always be super-
vised by an adult. Do not allow children
access to the interior of any electrical
products and do not permit them to
handle any cables.
