- Handle the laptop with care. Try not to bump it or drop it.
- The laptop can become damaged if you expose it to extreme temperatures. Never leave your laptop in the car for any extended period – the interior of a car can become extremely hot or cold.
- Do not leave the laptop unattended in the car or a public place. Laptops are prime targets for theft! If you MUST leave the laptop in the car – leave it in the trunk where it is not clearly visible.
- If the laptop has been left in the cold, let the laptop warm up to room temperature before turning it on.
- If you need to clean the display, do so with a soft dry lint free cloth. Do not use any harsh detergents, Windex, alcohol or ammonia. Only use cleaning agents designed for laptop/lcd screens.
- Move the laptop as little as possible while in actual use.
- Do not pick up or carry the laptop by the display screen.
- Never check the laptop in as luggage when traveling by airplane. Always take it with you as carry on luggage.
- Do not eat or drink over the laptop – accidents can and DO happen.
- If using a dialup modem – always unplug the modem from the wall when a storm is approaching. Lightening can travel through phone lines and render your laptop useless.
If you take a bit of care, you should never have to worry about returning the laptop in anything but pristine condition.
