skin might suffer a low-heat injury.
If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact
with the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can
become hot.
The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the
AC adaptor, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.
Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat as the
material could become damaged.
Pressure or impact damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of
strong impact as this can damage the computer's components or otherwise
cause it to malfunction.
Cleaning the computer
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust
and dirt, and use care with all liquids around it.
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does
get wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry
completely. In these circumstances, you should get the computer
inspected by an authorized service provider in order to assess the
scope of any damage.

How to Swipe your Finger
Using the following steps when swiping fingers for fingerprint registration or
authentication can help to minimize authentication failures:
Align the first joint of the finger to the center of the sensor. Lightly touch the
sensor and swipe finger levelly towards you until the sensor surface
becomes visible. In performing this process, you should also take care to
ensure that the center of your fingerprint is on the sensor.
The following illustrations show the recommended way to swipe your finger
over the fingerprint sensor.
Figure 4-6 Swipe the finger
1
1
1. Sensor
Avoid swiping with your finger stiff or pressed too hard onto the
sensor, and take care to ensure that the center of the fingerprint is
touching the sensor before swiping. Either of these conditions might
cause fingerprint reading to fail.
Check the center of the fingerprint whorl before swiping and then
ensure this is swiped along the center line of the sensor.
There is a possibility of authentication failures if the finger is swiped
too quickly or too slowly. Follow any on-screen instructions to adjust
the speed used during the swipe process.
Points to note about the Fingerprint Sensor
Be aware of the following considerations when using the fingerprint sensor.
A failure to follow these guidelines might result in damage to the sensor,
sensor failure, fingerprint recognition problems or a lower fingerprint
recognition success rate.
Do not scratch or poke the sensor with your nails or any hard or sharp
objects.
Do not press the sensor strongly.
Do not touch the sensor with a wet finger or any wet objects. Keep the
sensor surface dry and free from water vapor.
Do not touch the sensor with a soiled or dirty finger as minute foreign
particles of dust and dirt might scratch it.
User's Manual 4-12
Do not paste stickers or write on the sensor.
Do not touch the sensor with a finger or any other object which might
have a build-up of static electricity on it.
Observe the following before you place your finger on the sensor whether
for fingerprint enrollment/registration or recognition.
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
Remove static electricity from your fingers by touching any metal
surface. Static electricity is a common cause of sensor failures,
especially when the weather is dry.
Clean the sensor with a lint-free cloth. Do not use detergent or any
other chemicals to clean the sensor.
Avoid the following finger conditions for enrollment or recognition as
they might result in fingerprint enrollment errors or a drop in the
fingerprint recognition success rate
Soaked or swollen finger, for example as might occur after taking
a bath.
Injured finger
Wet finger
Soiled or oily finger
Extremely dry skin condition on finger
Observe the following to improve the fingerprint recognition success rate.
Enroll two or more fingers.
Enroll additional fingers if a recognition failure often occurs when using
already enrolled fingers.
Check the condition of your finger. Any conditions which have
changed since enrollment, such as injury, rough skin, and extremely
dry, wet, soiled, dirty, oily, soaked or swollen fingers, might lower the
recognition success rate. Also if the fingerprint is worn down or the
finger becomes thinner or fatter, the recognition success rate might be
lowered.
As the fingerprint for each finger is different and unique you should
ensure that only the registered or enrolled fingerprint or fingerprints
are used for identification.
Check the position and speed at which you swipe your finger across
the sensor. Refer to the preceding drawing.
The fingerprint sensor compares and analyzes the unique
characteristics in a fingerprint. However, there might be instances
where certain users are unable to register their fingerprints due to
insufficient unique characteristics in their fingerprints.
The recognition success rate might differ from user to user.
Points to note about Fingerprint Utility
If Windows file encryption function EFS (Encryption File System) is
used to encrypt a file, the file cannot be further encrypted using the
encryption function of this software.

With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery capacity will
gradually decrease. In view of this, it is noted that an often used, older
battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when both
are fully charged.
Maximizing battery operating time
The usefulness of a battery depends on how long it can supply power on a
single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:
Processor speed
Screen brightness
Internal storage drive power off period
How often and for how long you use the internal storage drive and
external disk drives, for example, optical disc
How much charge the battery contained to begin with
How you use optional devices, such as a USB device, to which the
battery supplies power
Where you store your programs and data
Whether you close the display panel when you are not using the
