Taking Care of the Tablet PC
Location Guidelines

For optimal performance, use the com-
puter where the recommended tempe-
rature 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 tempe-
ratures, mechanical vibration, direct sun-
light, or heavy dust. Using 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.
General Guidelines

Do not expose your skin to the computer
when operating it in a very hot or cold
environment.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the
computer 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.

LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed
pattern is displayed on the screen for a
prolonged period of time. You can avoid
the problem by limiting the amount of
static content on the display. It is recom-
mended that you use a screen saver or
turn off the display when it is not in use.

To maximize the life of the backlight in
the display, allow the backlight to auto-
matically turn off as a result of power
management.
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.

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 tem-
perature is 0C (32F) or below, freeze
damage may occur. Make sure to dry the
wet computer.
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
