computer as Tablet PC, operated with the supplied Tablet PC Pen, by 
turning the display panel through 180 degrees and closing it. This manual 
calls the use as an ordinary laptop PC “Laptop mode”, and the use as a 
Tablet PC “Tablet mode”. Refer to

All users should be sure to read the section 
Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort 
for information on the safe and proper use of this computer. It is 
intended to help you be more comfortable and productive while using a 
notebook computer. By following the recommendations in it you may 
reduce your chance of developing a painful or disabling injury to your 
hand, arms, shoulders or neck.
Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.
Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting 
destroys all stored data.
It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal hard disk drive or 
other main storage device to external media. General storage media is 
not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain 
conditions may result in data loss.
Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to 
the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result 
in the loss of data.
