If the telephone company makes a service call to your home or office and 
determines that your computer is responsible for a problem, the telephone 
company may bill you for the service call. Also, if you do not disconnect 
your computer when it is adversely affecting the telephone line, the 
telephone company has the right to disconnect your service until you correct 
the problem.
Handling your notebook
Clean the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with 
a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring 
powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine, as these may damage the 
finish of your computer.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the computer, shut down your 
computer and then unplug it. You may want to have the computer checked by 
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
Do not drop the computer or place heavy objects on top of the computer.
Make sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the computer.
Avoid rubbing the LCD screen as this can damage the screen. Use a soft, dry 
cloth to wipe the LCD screen.
Handling the LCD screen
Do not leave the LCD facing the sun as it can damage the LCD. Be careful 
when using the computer near a window.
Do not scratch the LCD or exert pressure on it. This could cause a 
malfunction.
Using the computer in low temperature conditions may produce a residual 
image on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the computer returns to 
normal temperature, the screen returns to normal.
The screen becomes warm during operation. This is normal and does not 
indicate a malfunction.
The LCD is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, 
however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that
