out the connector.

To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust 

and use care with liquids around the computer.

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 computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple 

precautions taken when moving the computer will help ensure trouble-free 

operation.

securely closed.

power cable and wait until the PC cools down. Failure to follow this 

instruction could result in minor injury.

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.
