Disconnecting LAN cable
To disconnect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.
1. Pinch the lever on the connector in the computer's LAN jack and pull
out the connector.
2. Disconnect the cable from the LAN hub in the same manner. Check

Cleaning the computer
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust
and use care with liquids around the computer.
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does get
wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry completely
before you turn it on again.
Clean the computer using a slightly damp (with water) cloth. You can
use glass cleaner on the display. Spray a small amount of cleaner on a
soft, clean cloth and wipe the screen gently with the cloth.
Remove the dust from the cooling vents on the Left side of the
computer regularly with a vacuum cleaner. Refer to Chapter 2, The
Grand Tour Left side.
Moving the computer
The computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple
precautions taken when moving the computer will help ensure trouble-free
operation.
Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer.
Check the HDD indicator on the computer.
If a CD/DVD is in the drives, remove it. Also make sure the disc tray is
securely closed.
Turn off (shut down) the computer.
Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the
computer.
Close the LCD display panel. Do not pick up the computer by its display
panel.
Before carrying your computer, shut down the computer, disconnect the
power cable and wait until the PC cools down. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in minor injury.
Always turn off the power when you move the computer. If the power
button has a lock, set it to the lock position. Also be careful not to
subject the computer to impact. Failure to follow this instruction could
result in damage to computer, computer failure or loss of data.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any
part of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the
computer.
