a screen saver or other software that prevents the power management
from working.
Cleaning Guidelines
z Never clean the computer with its power on.
z Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to
wipe the exterior of the computer.
z Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or
detergent on the display.
z Dust or grease on the touchpad can affect its sensitivity. Clean the pad
by using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface.
Battery Pack Guidelines
z Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When
recharging, make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so
may avoid harm to the battery pack.
z The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions
will shorten its life:
– when frequently charging the battery pack
– when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature
condition
z To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby
prolonging its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so
as not to frequently increase its internal temperature.
z Charge the battery pack between 10 °C ~ 30 °C (50 °F ~ 86 °F)
temperature range.
A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s
temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed
vehicle and in hot weather condition.
Also, charging will not start if the battery pack is not within the allowed
temperature range.
