Caring for your convertible
tablet PC
To extend the life of your convertible tablet PC:
■ Be careful not to bump or drop your convertible tablet PC, and do not put
any objects on top of it. The case, although strong, is not made to support
extra weight.
■ When transporting your convertible tablet PC, we recommend that you
put it in a carrying case.
■ Keep diskettes, modular drives, and your convertible tablet PC away from
magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can erase data on both diskettes and hard
drives.
■ Never turn off your convertible tablet PC when the hard drive light is on
because data on the hard drive could be lost or corrupted.
■ Avoid subjecting your convertible tablet PC to extreme temperature
changes. The case and LCD panel can become brittle and easy to break in
cold temperatures and can melt or warp in high temperatures. Damage due
to either extreme is not covered by your warranty. As a general rule, your
convertible tablet PC is safest at temperatures that are comfortable for you.
■ Keep all liquids away from your convertible tablet PC. When spilled onto
computer components, almost any liquid can result in extremely expensive
repairs that are not covered under your warranty.
■ Avoid dusty or dirty work environments. Dust and dirt can clog the
internal mechanisms.
■ Do not block the ventilation fan.
■ When storing your convertible tablet PC for an extended period of time,
unplug AC power and remove the battery after discharging it partway.

■ Use only your convertible tablet PC’s pen on the display. Do not write on
the surface with an ink pen or pencil.
■ Nothing heavier than your writing hand should be placed on top of the
display.
