Notebook Care
Hardware and Software Guide 15–2
Your notebook is designed as a durable product. To maintain its
performance and promote longevity, follow these guidelines:
■ Carry and store your notebook in a portable carrying case.
■ Keep liquids and excessive moisture away from your
notebook and keyboard to prevent costly repairs.
■ Avoid exposing your notebook to direct sunlight, extreme
temperatures, or ultraviolet light for extended periods of time.
■ Use your notebook only on a solid, flat surface. Make sure
that vents, which cool internal components, are unobstructed.
■ If the notebook will be idle for a week or more, shut it down.
■ If the notebook will be disconnected from external power for
more than 2 weeks:
❏ Shut down the notebook.
❏ Remove all battery packs and store them in a cool, dry
place.
