Field Service Guidelines 4-3 Never turn the computer off when the hard disk is being accessed. Never move or raise the computer while the hard disk is being accessed. Beespecially careful not to jar the hard disk during access; this can cause a hard diskcrash. Acquire a hard disk maintenance program like DEFRAG under DOS, or NortonUtilities SPEEDISK programs. These programs reorganize your hard disk byeliminating fragmentation and improves the hard disk access time.Handling the Battery PacksThe battery packs furnished with the computer require reasonable care and handling to en-sure efficient operation and maximum life. Periodically inspect the battery terminals andthe batteries for evidence of corrosion and oxide build-up.To ensure that the battery packs endure for a normal life cycle, always observe the follow-ing precautions when handling the battery packs: Do not drop the battery packs or subject them to excessive shock and vibration. Do not expose the battery packs to direct sunlight, moisture, chemical com-pounds, or extreme heat. Do not disassemble the battery packs. Do not use the battery packs to power other devices. Do not short the battery leads or connect the battery with reversed polarity. Never attempt to charge the battery packs in any way other than as described inthis manual and the user’s guide. Always charge the battery packs as soon as possible after a low battery indica-tion.Maintaining the LCD QualityWhen it comes to screen problems, heat plays a big part. After a good working session, thetypical routine is to shut the machine and close the cover. The display surface (no matterwhat type it is) radiates heat. When you close the cover, you trap the heat against thescreen. Make sure to leave the computer's cover open for about ten minutes while the heatdisperses, before closing the LCD.SOLD BY laptopia2005 DO NOT RESELL!!SOLD BY laptopia2005 DO NOT RESELL!!
