Operating Basics
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 vacuum cleaner. Refer to Chapter 2, 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 Disk indicator on the computer.
■ If a CD/DVD is in the drives, remove it. Also make sure the drawer is
securely closed.
■ Turn off the power to the computer.
■ Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the
computer.
■ Close the display. Do not pick up the computer by its display 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.
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.
