Caring for the Computer
Taking good care of your computer will ensure a trouble-free operation and reduce
the risk of damage to your computer.
This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing, cleaning,
and traveling.
Caring for the Computer
7-1
Protecting the Computer
To safeguard the integrity of your computer data as well as the computer itself, you
can protect the computer in several ways as described in this section.
Using an AntiAnti-Virus Strategy
You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could damage
your files.
Using Action Center (for Windows 7)
Action Center alerts you to take action on the following security essentials:
Windows Firewall
Windows Update
Malware Protection (anti-virus, anti-spyware)
Others (Internet security, user account control)
For detailed information, see Windows’ Help.
7-2 Caring for the Computer
Using the Cable Lock
You can use a Kensington-type cable lock to protect your computer against theft.
The cable lock is available in most computer stores.
To use the lock, loop the lock cable around a stationary object such as a table.
Insert the lock to the Kensington lock hole and turn the key to secure the lock.
Store the key in a safe place.
Caring for the Computer
7-3
Taking Care of the Computer
Location
Location Guidelines
For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended temperature
is between 0°C (32°F) and 55°C (131°F) – actual operating temperature
depending on product specifications.
Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme
temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using the
computer in extreme environments for long periods can result in product
deterioration and a shortened product life.
Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed.
Place the computer on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the computer
on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by dropping
or hitting may damage the computer.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For example,
do not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise,
overheating may occur that results in damage to the computer.
As the computer can become very hot during operation, keep it away from objects
that are vulnerable to heat.
Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances
that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor,
or a large audio speaker.
Avoid moving the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature
difference of more than 10°C (18°F) may cause condensation inside the unit,
which may damage the storage media.
7-4 Caring for the Computer
General Guidelines
Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer when it is closed as this
may damage the display.
The screen surface is easily scratched. Avoid touching it with a sharp object
such as a pen or pencil.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to
automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid using a screen
saver or other software that prevents the power management from working.
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. Do not use alcohol or detergent
on the display.
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.
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.
If the computer gets wet where the temperature is 0 °C (32 °F) or below,
freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet computer.
Caring for the Computer
7-5
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
condition.
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, store it in a cool dark place
removed from the computer and with 30% ~ 40% charge remaining.
Important guidelines when using the battery pack.
When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the following:
7-6 Caring for the Computer
– 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 terminals or damage may occur,
thereby causing improper operation to it or the computer.
The computer’s input voltage and surrounding 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 recommended that you place the
computer in sleep or hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten
the discharge time.
When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you may
experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading. This
phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The appropriate
operating temperature for the battery is -10 °C ~ 50 °C (14 °F ~ 122 °F).
Touchscreen Guidelines
Guidelines
Use the finger or the included touchscreen pen on the display. Using a sharp
or metallic object other than your finger or touchscreen pen may cause scratches
and damage the display, thereby causing errors.
Avoid using excessive force that may cause damage to the display.
Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has
a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a
soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen
surface.
Turn off the computer power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the display
with the power on may cause improper operation.

Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid moving the computer while
holding the display or twisting the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the
display as this may cause the glass to break thereby damaging the display.
Using the touchscreen during low temperature (less than 5oC) may cause a
slower response time, this is normal. A normal response time may be restored
upon returning to room temperature.
When there is a noticeable discrepancy in the placement of the stylus on the
screen and the indicated position of the onscreen pointer, use the calibration
utility to recalibrate the touchscreen display.
