To maximize the life of the backlight in the
display, allow the backlight to auto-
matically turn off as a result of power
management.
Cleaning Guidelines
Never clean the computer with its power on.
Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a
non-alkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the
computer.
Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-
free cloth.
Dust or grease on the touchpad can affect its
sensitivity. Clean the pad by using ad-
hesive tape to remove the dust and grease on
its surface.
If water or liquid is split onto the computer, wipe
it dry and clean when possible. Though your
computer is water-proof, do not leave the
computer wet when you can dry it.
In case water or liquid is spilt into the key-
board, immediately turn off the computer and
unplug the AC adapter. Then turn the keyboard
upside down to drain the liquid out of the
keyboard. Make sure to clean up any part of
the spill you can get to. Though the keyboard
of your computer is spill-proof, liquid will
remain in the key-
board enclosure if you don’t remove it.
If the computer gets wet where the tem-
perature is 0 C (32 F) or below, freeze
damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet
computer.
Battery Pack Guidelines
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.
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
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.
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 con-
dition. Also, charging will not start if the battery
pack is not within the allowed temperature range.
It is recommended that you do not charge the
battery pack more than once a day.
It is recommended that you charge the battery
pack with the computer’s power off.
To maintain the battery pack’s operating
efficiency when removed from the com-
puter, store it in a cool dark place and with
30% ~ 40% charge remaining.
Important guidelines when using the bat-
tery pack.
When installing or removing the battery pack
take note of the following:
– avoid installing or removing the battery
pack when the computer is in Sleep
mode. Abruptly removing the battery
pack may cause loss of data or the
computer may become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack termi-
nals or damage may occur, thereby
causing improper operation to it or the
computer.
The computer’s input voltage and sur-
rounding temperature will directly affect the
battery pack’s charge and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when
the computer is turned on.
To shorten the charging time, it is recom-
mended that you place the computer in
Sleep or hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the
charging time as well as hasten the dis-
charge time.
When using battery power in an extremely low
temperature environment, you may experience
shortened operating time and incorrect battery
level reading. This phe-
nomenon comes from the chemical char-
acteristics of batteries. The appropriate operating
temperature for the battery is
-10 C ~ 50 C (14 F ~ 122 F).
