Caring for your LIFEBOOK Notebook
If you use your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK notebook carefully, you will increase its life and reliability. This section provides some
tips for looking after the notebook and its devices.
• Your LIFEBOOK notebook is a durable but sensitive 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 yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely.
• IN THE EVENT YOU DROP YOUR NOTEBOOK OR DAMAGE THE HOUSING IN ANY WAY, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF POWER AND DISCONNECT THE POWER
PLUG. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT, SMOKE, AND/OR FIRE. CONTACT FUJITSU SERVICE AND SUPPORT BY PHONE AT 1-800-

FUJITSU (1-800-838-5487), BY EMAIL AT 8FUJITSU@US.FUJITSU.COM, OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE AT
HTTP://WWW.COMPUTERS.US.FUJITSU.COM/SUPPORT TO LEARN HOW TO GET THE SYSTEM REPAIRED.
• THE SYSTEM CONTAINS COMPONENTS THAT CAN BE SEVERELY DAMAGED BY ELECTROSTATIC 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 SLEEP 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 COMPONENTS; THE OIL FROM YOUR FINGERS COULD CAUSE A SHORT TO THE COMPONENTS.
• 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.
