Handling
This computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the hard disk drive, etc., but
no warranty is provided against such trouble.  Therefore, as a precision instrument, be
extremely careful in the handling.
Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects.
Remove all cables before transporting your computer.
We recommend preparing a fully charged battery.
When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended
that the batteries be stored in a plastic bag.
Do not place the computer upright or allow it to tip over.  When the computer receives
extremely strong shock after falling, the hard disk or floppy disk drive, etc., may be-
come inoperable.
Always carry your computer with you.  Never check it in with luggage.  For use of the
computer inside an aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines regarding their policy
on this issue.
It is a good idea to make backup copies on disks and carry them with you.
Maintenance
Wipe with a soft cloth, after applying water or de-
tergent diluted with water to the soft cloth and firmly
wringing out excess water.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol.  Doing so may adversely affect
the surface, e.g., discoloration.  In addition, do not use commercially-available
household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the
surface.
Do not directly add or spray water or detergent.  If liquid enters the inside of the
computer, it may cause it to work improperly or be damaged.
CAUTION

Be sure the AC adaptor is connected until completing Step 11 on page 18.
Handling the AC adaptor
Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully.  Doing so may damage the
connections.
Use only the specified AC adaptor with your computer.  Using an AC adap-
tor other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.
When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord
from your AC wall outlet.
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder
and lightning.  Since this could adversely affect your computer, an
uninterruptible power source (UPS) is highly recommended unless the bat-
tery pack is installed.

Getting Started
NOTE
Depending on the user settings, if there is no input from a key or an external
mouse for a certain interval of time, the power to the external display and hard
disk may be turned off.  The external display will resume operation when an
external mouse is used or a key is pressed.
The power to the external display may be turned off when an application soft-
ware is being installed.  In this case, because it is conceivable that a selection
dialog box will be shown, do not press
Space    or    Enter    to attempt to
resume from this condition as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead,
press a key unrelated to the direct triggering of a selection, like   Ctrl   .
In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically may enter the
standby* mode (
   “Standby/Hibernation Functions”).  The computer
will resume by pressing the power switch.
