10 Users ManualTips for Using Your ComputerThe following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your computer:Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids your warranty. Only an authorised manufacturer service center can replace or add any parts inside the chassis.•Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.•The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent damage, avoid touching the screen.•Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other options.•Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan inside your computer runs when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent on the left side of your computer is not blocked when you use the computer. Occasionally check the vents and remove any accumulated dust on the outside. •Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a car on a hot day. Keep the computer away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage computer components. If you have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool down slowly to room temperature (with the LCD panel open) before using it.•Do not remove the memory-module compartment door, or try to install a memory module when the computer is on. (For information on installing memory modules, see “Installing a Memory Module” on page 64.)•Set up your computer work area to avoid physical strain. Sit with your back straight and supported by your chair. Adjust your chair or work table so that your arms and wrists can remain in a relaxed position, parallel with the floor. Avoid bending or twisting your wrists as you work. Your hands should “float” slightly above the keyboard. Refer to a book on office ergonomics for more information on setting up your work area.•Take frequent breaks from working at the computer to rest your eyes and stretch your muscles. •Remember to save your data files frequently and to make backup copies of your files.Matrix 3 Plus (Windows 2000) - English.fm Page 10 Thursday, April 18, 2002 10:35 AM
Using Your Computer for the First Time 11Travelling with Your ComputerAir TravelIf you are travelling by air, follow these tips:•Take the computer with you as carry-on luggage. Do not check the computer with your baggage.•Allow the computer and disks to go through the X-ray security devices. Do not hand-carry disks through the walk-through metal detectors, which can cause loss of data.•Make sure that the battery is charged or the power cord is easily accessible. You may be required to turn on the computer for airport security personnel.•Be prepared to turn off the computer during take off and landing.Locking your ComputerAs a precaution when you are travelling or using your computer in an unsecured area, you should keep your computer as safe as possible.

12 Users ManualHandling SpillsDo not spill anything on your computer. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking around your computer. If you do spill something on your computer, turn off your computer, unplug it immediately, and do the following:•If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the keyboard as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD panel. Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to use it.•If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as much of the liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature for a full day before trying to use it.Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the keyboard despite your efforts to dry it.•If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and denatured alcohol or a proprietary LCD screen cleaner. Do not use water, window cleaner, acetone, aromatic solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your screen is damaged, contact your authorized manufacturer’s service center for a replacement.Storing the Computer for Long PeriodsIf possible, leave the power cord connected to the computer and an electrical outlet when the computer is not in use. This extends the life of the battery and keeps the battery fully charged.If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (a month or more), you should charge the battery until it is completely full. After you have done so, remove the battery from the unit.Matrix 3 Plus (Windows 2000) - English.fm Page 12 Thursday, April 18, 2002 10:35 AM
