Using Your Computer Comfortably and Safely When installing your hard disk drive, apply pressure only where indicated on the device. Treat your computer like a precision piece of electronic machinery. Retain and store packing materials safely out of reach of children to prevent the risk of suffocation from plastic bags. Register your ThinkPad products with IBM (refer to the Setup Guide). This can help authorities return your computer to you if it is lost or stolen. Registering your computer also enables IBM to notify you about possible upgrades. Check the IBM Web pages at www.us.pc.ibm.com periodically to get current information about your computer. Cleaning Your Computer You should occasionally clean your computer as follows: Use a soft cloth moistened with nonalkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the computer. Don't spray cleaner directly on the display or keyboard. Gently wipe the LCD with a dry, soft cloth.
