UMPC User Guide 90 8.1 Important Safety Instructions This section gives you detailed information about how to maintain a safe working environment while using the UMPC. You can maintain its condition and performance by following these guidelines. Please read it carefully to ensure maximum safety. • Before cleaning the UMPC, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies (i.e. AC adapter, car adapter and so on). • When cleaning, do not use liquid or sprayed detergent for cleaning. Instead, use moisture sheet or a cloth for cleaning. • The socket-outlet shall be installed near the UMPC and shall be easily accessible. • Please keep the UMPC from humidity. • Lay the UMPC on a reliable surface when installing. A drop or fall may cause injury. • The openings on the enclosure are for air convection hence the UMPC can be protected from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS. • Be careful of using power supply. The UMPC has specific power requirements. • Use only a power adapter approved for use with this UMPC. • The power adapter may have a 2-prong plug. This is an important safety feature. A compatible outlet is required. If it is not available, find a qualified electrician to install one.
Caring for Your Notebook 8 91 • While unplugging the power cord, disconnect it by the plug head, not by its wire. • Make sure the socket and any extension cords you may use can support the total current load of all the connected devices. • Though your AC adapter is suitable for universal international voltage, it still requires a stable and continual power supply. Make sure the voltage of the power source when connect the UMPC to the power outlet. If your are unsure of your local power specifications, consult your dealer or local power company. • Place the power cord in such a way that people can not step on it. Do not place anything over the power cord. • All cautions and warnings on the UMPC should be noted. • If the UMPC is not in use for a long time, disconnect it from mains to avoid possible damage by transient over-voltage. • Never pour any liquid into openings as this may cause fire or electrical shock. • Never open the body of UMPC. For safety reason, the UMPC should only be opened by qualified service personnel. • If one of the following situations arises, have the UMPC checked by service personnel: ⇓ The power cord or plug is damaged. ⇓ Liquid has penetrated into the UMPC. ⇓ The UMPC has been exposed to moisture. ⇓ The UMPC has not worked well or you can not get it work according to user’s manual.
UMPC User Guide 92 ⇓ The UMPC has dropped and damaged. ⇓ The UMPC has obvious sign of breakage. • Do not leave this UMPC in an environment unconditioned. Storage temperature above 60ºC (140ºF) may damage the UMPC. • An approved power cord has to be used for the UMPC power supply. For a rated current up to 6A and an equipment weight more than 3 kg, a power cord not lighter than H05VV-F, 2G, 0.75mm2, has to be used. • To avoid any damage happened to the internal device, you should first disconnect the AC adapter and remove the battery pack from the UMPC when replacing any internal device. The sound pressure level at the operator's position according to IEC 60704-1 is equal or less than 70dB(A). 8.2 Cleaning Your UMPC When it is necessary to clean the plastic case and keyboard, use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution or use the contents of any commercially available UMPC cleaning kit. Never use alcohol, petroleum-based solvents, or harsh detergents to clean the UMPC. Also never spray any liquids directly on the UMPC case, keyboard, or screen. If the liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen has become smeared or dusty, clean the screen by first applying a mild glass cleaner to a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, and gently wipe the glass. Never apply liquids directly on the screen surface. Moreover, do not use paper towels to clean the display screen. Paper can scratch the display screen matte.
Caring for Your Notebook 8 93 8.3 Maintaining the LCD Quality When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a significant role. After a typical working session, users routinely close the UMPC the cover. The display surface - no matter what type it is - and the components inside the UMPC radiate heat; when you close the cover, you trap the heat against the screen. To help prolong the life of your UMPC, leave the cover open for ten minutes while the heat disperses. You should also enable the power management of your UMPC to turn off the LCD power and display when the system is inactive for some time. Adding a screen saver also helps prolong the life of your UMPC screen. Follow the safety guidelines mentioned earlier and how to clean your UMPC. 8.4 Maintaining Your Hard Disk Losing your data has the same consequences as a system break down. Users must make it a habit of doing hard disk maintenance every week or so. Here is some maintenance you could do: • Always back up your data files from your hard disk. • Install the virus detecting program to monitor virus that could tamper your files. • Use SCANDISK occasionally to correct any errors found in the directory and File Allocation Table. This will also free up space from any unused sectors. • Never move or raise the UMPC while the hard disk is being accessed, most especially don't jar the hard disk as this may cause a hard disk crash.
UMPC User Guide 94 • Use hard disk maintenance programs like Disk Defragmenter of Windows. These reorganize your hard disk by eliminating fragmentation and improving your hard disk access time. • Install a system password in your UMPC so others won't be able to use the hard disk. 8.5 Battery Care Guidelines The battery pack furnished with the UMPC requires reasonable care and handling to ensure efficient operation and maximum life. There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if the battery pack is handled improperly. To ensure that the battery pack endures normal life cycle, always observe the following precautions when handling the battery pack: • Handle batteries carefully. Do not try to disassemble, crush, puncture, open, drop, mutilate, short external contacts, disposed of in water or fire, or expose it to temperatures higher than 60 C. • Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas. Never use an external charger other than the one supplied with your UMPC. • Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. • Do not leave your battery in your UMPC for longer than 1 month without plugging in the power adapter. • Do not leave battery in storage for more than 2 months without recharging it to prevent over discharge. Over discharge will hurt the battery • Dispose dead battery properly to protect the environment. The batteries contain hazardous chemicals and should not be thrown out with household or office trash.
