Chapter 2
Getting Started
This chapter provides tips for working comfortably, summarizes
how to connect components, and explains what to do the first time
you use your notebook computer.
Precautions
❖ Avoid spilling liquids on the keyboard.
If you do spill a liquid that gets into the keyboard, turn off the
computer immediately. Leave the computer off overnight to
give it time to dry out before you use it again.
❖ Never turn off the computer if a drive indicator light indicates
the drive is in use.
Turning off the computer while it is reading from or writing to
a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both.
❖ Keep the computer and diskettes away from objects that
generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo speakers.
Information on diskettes is stored magnetically. Getting a
magnet too close to a diskette can erase important files.
