Chapter 2
Learning the Basics
This chapter gives some computing tips and provides 
important information about basic features.
Computing tips
❖Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the device’s temporary memory until 
you save it to the internal storage drive. If the network 
you are using goes down and you must restart your 
device to reconnect, or your battery runs out of charge 
while you are working, you will lose all work since you 
last saved.
See “Saving your work” on page 53 for further 
information.
HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature 
that can be activated. This feature saves your file to the 
internal storage drive at preset intervals. See your 
software documentation for details. 
						

							50Learning the Basics
Touch screen
❖Back up your files to external media on a regular basis. 
Label the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe 
place.
It is easy to put off backing up because it takes time. 
However, if your internal storage drive suddenly fails, you 
will lose all the data on it unless you have a separate 
backup copy. For more information, see “Data and 
system configuration backup in the Windows
® operating 
system” on page 93.
❖Use Error-checking and Disk Defragmenter regularly to 
check and optimize disk space and improve 
performance. 
❖Scan all new files for viruses.
This precaution is especially important for files you 
receive via external media, email, or download from the 
Internet. 
❖Take frequent breaks to avoid repetitive-motion injuries 
and eyestrain.
❖Do not turn off the device if a drive is active.
Turning off the device while it is reading from or writing 
to a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both.
The Windows® operating system records information, 
such as your desktop setup, during its shutdown 
procedure. If you do not let the Windows
® operating 
system shut down normally, details such as new icon 
positions may be lost.
Touch screen
Your device may come with a digitizer feature, enabling 
direct interaction with display, apps, and programs. 
Your device comes with a touch screen, enabling direct 
interaction with displayed apps and programs through 
simple or multi-touch gestures.
