Handling The Battery Pack; Maintaining The Lcd Quality - NEC Versa LX User Manual

Here are some maintenance procedures to use when servicing a hard disk:
n
Always back up the data files from the hard disk.
n
Run a virus-detecting program to check for possible virus infected areas on the
hard disk.
n
Use the preinstalled ScanDisk program to correct any errors found in the directory
and File Allocation Table (FAT). This also frees up space from any unused
sectors.
n
Never turn the computer off when the hard disk is being accessed.
n
Never move or raise the computer while the hard disk is being accessed. Be
especially careful not to jar the hard disk during access; this can cause a hard disk
crash.
n
Use hard disk maintenance program like DEFRAG under DOS, or acquire Norton
Utilities SPEEDISK programs. These programs reorganize your hard disk by
eliminating fragmentation and improves the hard disk access time.

Handling the Battery Pack

The battery pack furnished with the computer requires reasonable care and
handling to ensure efficient operation and maximum life. Periodically inspect
the battery terminals and the batteries for evidence of corrosion and oxide build-
up.
To ensure that the battery pack endures for a normal life cycle, always observe
the following precautions when handling the battery packs:
n
Do not drop the battery packs or subject them to excessive shock and vibration.
n
Do not expose the battery packs to direct sunlight, moisture, chemical
compounds, or extreme heat.
n
Do not disassemble the battery packs.
n
Do not use the battery packs to power other devices.
n
Do not short the battery leads or connect the battery with reversed polarity.
n
Never attempt to charge the battery packs in any way other than as described in
this manual and the user's guide.
n
Always charge the battery packs as soon as possible after a low battery indication.

Maintaining the LCD Quality

When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a big part. After a good working
session, the typical routine is to shut the machine and close the cover. The
display surface (no matter what type it is) radiates heat. When you close the
cover, you trap the heat against the screen. Make sure to leave the computer's
cover open for about ten minutes while the heat disperses, before closing the
LCD.
