Useful Information
Usage/Handling/Maintenance
zPlace the computer on a flat stable surface.
Do not place the computer upright or allow it to tip over. When the computer 
receives extremely strong shock after falling, the hard disk may become inoperable.
zOperation: Temperature: 5°C to 35°C {41°F to 95°F}
Humidity: 30% to 80% RH (No condensation)
zStorage: Temperature: -20°C to 60°C {-4°F to 140°F}
Humidity: 30% to 90% RH (No condensation)
• Even within the temperature and humidity ranges noted above, using the com-
puter for long periods of time in an environment with exceptionally low or high 
temperatures or high humidity may result in deterioration of the product, which 
can lead to a reduction in product life.
zKeep the computer clear of electromagnetic cards and objects that emit electromagnetic 
waves.
• Do not place the computer near magnets, electromagnetic bracelets, or other mag-
netic fields.
• This computer uses a magnet in the position marked with a circle in the diagram 
on the left.  Do not place a magnetic card or other magnetic field in contact with 
the computer.
‹We recommend the following:
zPreparing a spare battery pack (sold separately).
zMaking backup copies on SD memory cards, etc. 
‹When Carrying the computer, be sure to keep to the fol-
lowing:
zTurn off the computer.
zRemove all external devices, cables, PC Cards protruding from the computer (see 
figure A), and SD memory cards before transporting the computer.
zClose the display, and ensure that the latch (Îpage 13) is positioned correctly in 
the slot.
Do not carry the computer by gripping the display or the cabinet around the display 
(see figure B).
zDo not drop or hit the computer against solid objects.
zWhen taking an airplane
• Always carry your computer and disks, etc with you. Never check it in with lug-
gage.
• Before using the computer inside an airplane, we recommend asking the airlines 
regarding their policy on this issue.
zWhen transporting a spare battery pack (sold separately) inside a package, brief-
case, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic bag in order to protect its 
contacts.
zIf the computer is being carried in a soft bag when the battery pack has been 
removed, be careful to avoid undue pressure on the body of the computer in a 
crowded place, etc., as this may result in damage to the LCD.
zCare of the display / touch pad:
Wipe lightly with a gauze or other dry, soft cloth.
zWhen the touch pad or other area other than the screen becomes dirty: wet a soft 
cloth with water or a diluted kitchen cleanser (neutral), wring the cloth out thor-
oughly, and wipe the dirty area gently.  Using a detergent other than a neutral 
kitchen cleanser (e.g., a weak alkali cleanser) may adversely affect painted sur-
faces.
