Handling Your Computer
By using common sense and by following these handling tips, you
will get the most use and enjoyment out of your ThinkPad computer
for a long time to come.
Notebook computers are precision machines that require a bit of
careful handling. Though the IBM ThinkPad computer is designed
and tested to be a durable notebook computer that functions reliably
in normal work environments, you need to use some common sense
in handling it.
Note
If you power off the computer, wait at least 5 seconds before you
power it on again.
