Operating Basics

■

Clean the plastics of the computer using a slightly water dampened 

cloth.

■

You can clean the display screen by spraying a small amount of glass 

cleaner onto a soft, clean cloth and then wiping the screen gently with 

the cloth.

Some models include 1 cleaning cloth.
The cleaning cloth can be used to wipe away dust and fingerprints from the 

keyboard and palm rest area of your computer.

While the computer is designed for rugged durability you should exercise a 

few simple precautions when moving it in order to help ensure trouble-free 

operation.

■

Make sure all disk/disc activity has ended before moving the computer - 

check that the HDD and other indicators on the front of the computer 

are off.

■

If a CD or DVD is in the drive, remove it and make sure that the disc tray 

is securely closed.

■

Turn off (shut down) the computer.

■

Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the 

computer.

■

Close the display panel.

■

Do not pick up the computer by its display panel.

■

Before carrying your computer, shut it down, disconnect the AC adaptor 

and allow it to cool down - a failure to follow this instruction may result in 

minor heat injury.
