Handling the ThinkPad computer By using common sense and by following these handling tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your computer for a long time to come. This section provides tips for handling notebook computers in general. Some descriptions might not suit your situation. Check your shipping checklist to confirm the items you get with your computer. Notebook computers are precision machines that require a bit of careful handling. Though your computer is designed and tested to be a durable notebook computer that functions reliably in normal work environments, you need to use some common sense in handling it. Handling tips Do not subject your computer to physical punishment, such as dropping or bumping. Do not place heavy objects on your computer. Do not spill liquids into your computer. Do not use your computer in or near water (to avoid the danger of electrical shock). Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag. Your LCD might be damaged. A scratchlike marking on your LCD might be a stain transferred from the keyboard (including from the TrackPoint stick) when the cover was pressed from the outside. Wipe such a stain gently with a dry soft cloth. If the stain remains, moisten the cloth with LCD cleaner and wipe the stain again. Be sure to dry the LCD before closing it. Do not place any objects between the display and keyboard. Do not move the computer when the hard disk drive is accessing data (when the indicator is blinking). Do not crush or drop the external or removable hard disk, diskette, or CD-ROM drive when it is outside your computer. Do not connect the modem to a PBX (private branch exchange) or other digital telephone extension line. Your computer can use only a public-switched telephone network (PSTN). Use of a phone line other than PSTN can damage your modem. If you are not sure which kind of phone line you are using, contact your telephone company. Many hotels or office buildings use digital telephone extension lines, so check before connecting the telephone cable in such places. Do not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part of your body for an extended period when the computer is functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer dissipates some heat during normal operation. This heat is a function of the level of system activity and battery charge level. For more information Online User's Guide.

By using common sense and by following these handling tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment
out of your computer for a long time to come.
This section provides tips for handling notebook computers in general.
Some descriptions might not

Check your shipping checklist to confirm the items you get with your computer.
Notebook computers are precision machines that require a bit of careful handling.
Though your

Do not place heavy objects on your computer.
Do not spill liquids into your computer.
Do not use your computer in or near water (to avoid the danger of electrical shock).
Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.
