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, 
, in this chapter.
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 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 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 transport your computer with PC cards installed. This could 
cause damage to your computer and/or PC card, resulting in product 
failure.
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.
