UIDELINES
This chapter provides recommended guidelines for taking care of
your computer. These guidelines, aimed at ensuring computer
longevity and reducing the risk of damage, including routine care,
travel guidelines, and shipping guidelines.
Routine Care
You can keep the computer in good condition and working
properly by following these guidelines:
■ 
Operate the computer with a battery pack installed, even when
you’re using external power. This supplies the battery with a
constant trickle charge and ensures a fully charged battery
pack the next time you turn on the computer.
■ 
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture and
temperature extremes. Do not expose the computer to liquids
or precipitation.
■ 
Remove the battery pack from the computer if the computer
will not be used for an extended period (more than two
weeks). Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place when it is
not in use.
■ 
To prevent possible damage to the display, do not place
anything on top of the computer when it is closed. Store the
computer in a slipcase. Do not store any other items inside the
case on top of the computer.
CAUTION:
  The protective slipcase available for your computer
is provided for carrying convenience only and does not provide
shock and vibration protection for the computer.
