Care and Maintenance
If you use your LifeBook notebook carefully, you
will increase its life and reliability. This section
provides some tips for looking after the notebook
and its devices.
Caring for your Notebook
• Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sen-
sitive electronic device. Treat it with respect and
care.
• Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable
carrying case.
• Do not attempt to service the computer your-
self. Always follow installation instructions
closely.
• Keep it away from food and beverages.
• If you accidentally spill liquid on your notebook:
1. Turn it off.
2. Position it so that the liquid can run out.
3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.
4. If your notebook will not boot after it has
dried out, call your support representative.
• Do not use your LifeBook notebook in a wet
environment (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 envi-
ronmental hazards.
Electrical equipment may be hazardous if
misused. Operations of this product or similar
products, must always be supervised by an
adult. Do not allow children access to the
interior of any electrical products and do not
permit them to handle any cables.
• Do not expose your LifeBook notebook to di-
rect sunlight for long periods of time as tem-
peratures 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 com-
puter.
• If you are carrying your LifeBook notebook in
a briefcase, 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 ob-
jects.
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
separately. 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).
