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 LCD display screen. Spray a small amount of
cleaner on a soft, clean cloth and wipe the screen gently with the cloth.
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.
■ Before moving the computer, it recommends changing the function of
HDD Protection. Refer to the section, Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Protection, in this chapter.
■ Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer. Check
the HDD and Slim Select Bay indicators on the computer.
■ If a CD/DVD is in the drives, remove it. Also make sure the disc tray is
securely closed.
■ Turn off the power to 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 panel.
■ Close all port covers.
■ Use the carrying case when transporting the computer.
■ When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it does
not fall or hit anything.
■ Do not carry your computer by holding protruded portions.
Make sure the LAN Active indicator (orange LED) is out before you
disconnect the computer from the LAN.
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.
