The following are recommendations on how to maintain your notebook computer during everyday use, as well as how to prevent potential physical damage or data loss. Hard disk drives and other internal components are not infallible, and can be damaged by inappropriate handling and operation. Physical Care * Avoid bumps or jolts. - Suspend or shut down the computer before transporting it. This turns off the hard drive. A drop of a few inches onto a rigid surface while the hard drive is operating could cause loss of data or damage to the drive. - Carry the computer in a padded case to protect against bumps and jolts. - Set down the computer gently. Take precautions against accidental bumps. - Do not operate the computer while traveling over bumpy terrain. * Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the computer. Suspend or shut down the computer before putting it in a carrying case or other enclosed space. * Do not pick up or carry the computer by the display. * Do not use the computer outside in the rain or snow (inclement weather) or in any extremes of temperature or humidity. General Use * Set the brightness of your display to the lowest comfortable level. This will help prolong your battery charge. * Back up your work regularly. Copy files to floppy, CD-RW, or network drives. * Use a virus scanning program, preferably one that will run automatically, to check the integrity of your files and operating system on a periodic basis. Check your disk using "scandisk" and "defrag" utilities. See your manual for details on how to start and stop your HP notebook computer. - End of File -
