Taking Care of the Computer
Before you begin using your computer, read the following
guidelinesto
ensure proper maintenance of the ActionNote:
Keep the computer and AC adapter dry, and do not expose
them to extreme heat or cold.
Do not place external devices on top of the computer, even if it
is closed, to prevent damage to the LCD display.
when you are not using the external device connectors, keep
the covers closed to prevent damage to ports.
Occasionally clean the exterior of the computer with a soft,
damp cloth.
Occasionally clean the LCD display using glass cleaner on a
soft cloth; do not apply the cleaner directly to the screen.
Follow these precautions to protect your hard disk from damage
and to avoid losing data:
 Never turn off or reset the computer when the hard disk drive
light is on. This light indicates that the computer is copying
data to or from the hard disk.
 Do not move the computer when the power is on. After
turning the power off, wait 20 seconds before moving it. This
allows the disks in the drive to stop spinning and the hard 
disk read/write heads to lock in place so you do not damage 
the drive.
