some tips for looking after the notebook and its devices

LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK

Caring for your Notebook

■

Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive

electronic device. Treat it with care.

■

Make a habit of transporting it in a carrying case.

■

Do not attempt to service the computer yourself.

Always follow installation instructions closely.

■

To protect your notebook from damage and to opti-

mize system performance, be sure to keep all air all

vents unobstructed, clean, and clear of debris. This

may require periodic cleaning, depending upon the

environment in which the system is used.

■

Do not operate the notebook in areas where the air

vents can be obstructed, such as in tight enclosures or

on soft surfaces like a bed or cushion.

■

Keep it away from food and beverages.

■

If you accidentally spill liquid on your notebook:

■

Turn it off and position it so the liquid can run out.

■

Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.

■

If your notebook will not boot after it has dried out,

call your support representative.

■

Do not use your LifeBook notebook in a wet environ-

ment (near a bathtub, swimming pool).

■

Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are

approved for your LifeBook notebook.

■

Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other

environmental hazards.

■

Do not expose your LifeBook notebook to direct sun-

light for long periods of time as temperatures above

140° F (60° C) may damage your notebook.

■

Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots

when they are not in use.

■

Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.

■

If you are carrying your LifeBook notebook in a brief-

case, or any other carrying case, make sure that there

are no objects in the case pressing on the lid.

■

Do not drop your LifeBook notebook.

■

Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.

Cleaning your LifeBook notebook

■

Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug,

not the cord.)

■

Clean your LifeBook notebook with a damp, lint-free

cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

■

Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen.

Never use glass cleaners.

Storing your LifeBook notebook

■

If storing your LifeBook notebook for a month or

longer, turn your LifeBook off and remove all Lithium

ion batteries.

■

Store your LifeBook notebook and batteries sepa-

rately. If you store your notebook with a battery

installed, the battery will discharge, and battery life

will be reduced. In addition, a faulty battery might

damage your notebook.

■

Store your notebook in a cool, dry location.

Temperatures should remain between 13ºF (-25ºC)

and 140ºF (60ºC).

■

The system contains components that

can be severely damaged by electro-

static discharge (ESD). To minimize risk

to the components, observe the

following precautions:

■

Before docking or undocking your

LifeBook notebook (when using a port

replicator), it is a good practice to

always touch a grounded metal object

to discharge static electricity built up

in your body.

■

Be sure to power down your system

before adding or removing system

components. Even if the system is in

hibernate or standby states, data

could be lost or memory could be

damaged if power is still available to

the system.

■

When installing or removing a

memory module, hold it by the edge

so as not to touch any contacts or

chips. Be careful not to touch any

internal computer terminals or compo-

nents; the oil from your fingers could

cause a short to the components.

■

Electrical equipment may be hazardous if

misused. Operations of this product or
