The following safety precautions will increase the life of the Eee
PC. Follow all precautions and instructions. Except as described in
this manual, refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Do not use
damaged power cords, accessories, or other peripherals. Do not use
strong solvents such as thinners, benzene, or other chemicals on or
near the surface.
Disconnect the AC power and remove the battery pack(s)
before cleaning. Wipe the Eee PC using a clean cellulose sponge
or chamois cloth dampened with a solution of nonabrasive
detergent and a few drops of warm water and remove any extra
moisture with a dry cloth.
1-4
DO NOT place on uneven or
unstable work surfaces. Seek
servicing if the casing has
been damaged.
DO NOT place or drop
objects on top and do not
shove any foreign objects
into the Eee PC.
DO NOT expose to dirty or
dusty environments. DO NOT
operate during a gas leak.
DO NOT expose to strong
magnetic or electrical fields.
DO NOT press or touch the
display panel. Do not place
together with small items
that may scratch or enter the
Eee PC.
DO NOT expose to or
use near liquids, rain, or
moisture. DO NOT use the
modem during electrical
storms.
DO NOT leave the Eee PC on
your lap or any part of the
body to prevent discomfort
or injury from heat exposure.
Battery safety warning: DO
NOT throw the battery in
fire. DO NOT short circuit
the contacts. DO NOT
disassemble the battery.
SAFE TEMP: This Eee PC
should only be used in
environments with ambient
temperatures between 5°C
(41°F) and 35°C (95°F)
INPUT RATING: Refer to the
rating label on the bottom
of the Eee PC and be sure
that your power adapter
complies with the rating.

Chapter 1: Introducing the Eee PC
Transportation Precautions
To prepare the Eee PC for transport, you should close the display
panel to protect the keyboard and display panel.
The Eee PC’s surface is easily dulled if not properly cared for. Be
careful not to rub or scrape surfaces when transporting your Eee PC.
You can put your Eee PC in a carrying case for protection from dirt,
water, shock, and scratches.
For the model that comes with a hard disk drive, you should
turn it OFF and disconnect all external peripherals to prevent
damage to the connectors when you prepare for transport. The
hard disk drive’s head retracts when the power is turned OFF
to prevent scratching of the hard disk surface during transport.
Never transport it while the power is still ON.
Charging Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your
battery pack and any optional battery packs before going on long
trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as
long as it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be
aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack when the
Eee PC is in use.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Eee PC on the airplane.
Most airlines have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most
airlines allow electronic use only between and not during takeoffs
and landings.
There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray
machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic
detectors (used on people walking through security checks),
and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or
individual items). You can send your Eee PC and diskettes
through airport X-ray machines. However, it is recommended
that you do not send your Eee PC or diskettes through airport
magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.

The Eee PC uses an active matrix TFT LCD, which provides
excellent viewing like that of desktop monitors. Unlike
desktop monitors, the LCD panel does not produce any
radiation or flickering, so it is easier on the eyes. Use a soft
cloth without chemical liquids (use plain water if necessary)
to clean the display panel.
Power Switch
The power switch allows powering ON and OFF the Eee PC
and recovering from STR. Press the switch once to turn ON
and hold it to turn OFF the Eee PC. The power switch only
works when the display panel is opened.

The keyboard provides keys with comfortable travel (depth
at which the keys can be depressed) and palm rest for both
hands.
Touchpad and Buttons
The touchpad and its buttons comprises a pointing device
that provides the same functions as a desktop mouse.
Multi-finger gesture input is available to allow easy web
and document navigation.
