Product Installation/Usage Precautions

Caution:

	Place the machine in a safe place so it does not fall. If dropped, the machine may be damaged or cause an injury.
	Use the product in a clean, dust-free environment. Otherwise, the system may not function properly.
	Do not place any objects within 15 cm of the PC. Lack of ventilation may overheat the PC from inside and put users at risk of burn injuries.
	Do not store or use the PC near a magnetic object (i.e. a bag with a magnetic object, a diary, a wallet, a memo board, high-powered speakers, a bracelet, or etc.). Otherwise, the storage device (HDD, SSD, eMMC) and the system may be damaged, and the system may fail to operate properly. Do not use the PC on a bag with magnetic objects attached to it. Otherwise, the storage device and the system may be damaged, and the system may fail to operate properly.
	Operate the product where there is no electromagnetic interference. Keep a proper distance between the PC and electronic appliances such as radios or speakers that generate strong magnetic fields. Otherwise, data may be lost from the storage device (HDD, SSD, eMMC) or the screen color may be damaged.
	Do not connect a key-phone line to a wired LAN port. A fire may occur or the product may get damaged.
	If the screen is damaged, do not touch it with your hands. Contact the service center as it may cause an injury.
	Be careful not to pinch your fingers in the connecting (hinge) part of the PC when opening or closing the PC, as it may lead to injury. This may lead to bodily injury.
	Do not leave any objects such as a pen between the keyboard and the screen. You might break the screen by unwittingly closing the PC with a foreign object remaining on the keyboard.
	Do not tap or scratch the screen with a sharp object. It may cause impairment.
	Ensure the power is off before closing the PC. The product may catch fire, be broken or deformed due to temperature rise.
	Do not impose excessive force on the screen or drop it. The screen may be damaged.
	Do not lean the screen backward too much. Do not apply too much force to the screen. The screen or the moving parts may be damaged.
	To clean the screen, use designated agents and soft cloth and rub the screen in one direction. Too much force may damage the screen.

Battery and Adapter Precautions

Warning:

	When the PC is not used for an extended period of time, keep the battery level at about 50 %. Do not leave the product with discharged battery for an extended period of time. It may damage the battery.
	Charge the battery only with the provided instrument. Otherwise, the battery may be damaged presenting a risk of fire.
	Do not throw or disassemble the battery. The resulting damage may cause an injury, explosion, or fire.
	Use batteries certified and acknowledged by LG Electronics Inc. Otherwise, an explosion or fire may occur.
	Prevent the battery from being in contact with any metallic object like a car ignition key or a paper clip. Otherwise, this may cause damage to the battery, a fire or burn due to overheat in the battery.
	Keep the battery away from heat. Otherwise, an explosion or fire may occur.
	Do not short-circuit the battery. Otherwise, it may explode.
	Do not dispose of a spent or backup (standby) battery arbitrarily. It may explode or cause a fire. Disposal methods may differ by country and region. Dispose of spent batteries in accordance with the laws and safety rules of the country and region you reside in.
	If you find leakage or smell bad odor from the battery, remove the battery and contact the local service center. It may explode or cause a fire.
	Do not store in places with temperatures above 60 °C and high humidity (in cars or saunas). It may explode or cause a fire.
	Keep the battery out of the reach of children or pets. If damaged, it may cause an injury.
	Keep the battery from being pierced by a sharp object or chewed by pets. It may explode or cause a fire.
	Do not put the battery in water. Otherwise, the battery may be damaged or explode.
	Do not use the PC on top of carpet, blanket or bed. Also, do not put the adapter under the blanket. This may cause a malfunction, fire or burn due to overheat in the PC and adapter.
	Read the battery usage precautions carefully before use. The battery should be stored indoors and used and stored in accordance with the usage method described in the user manual.
	Connect the power plug properly by pushing it to the end. If a contact failure occurs, it may cause product damage or fire.
	Do not bend the power cable for adapter too much or get stamped by a sharp object. The wires inside the cable may break and cause electric shock or fire.
	Do not use loose plugs or damaged power cords. An electric shock or fire may occur.
	Do not touch the power cord with your hands wet. Otherwise, an electric shock may occur.
	Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the adapter and power jack. Otherwise, a fire or product damage may occur.
	Operate the product at the proper voltage. Excessive voltage may result in damage on the product, electric shock or fire.
	Use power outlets with an earth pin installed and proper supply of rated electricity. An electric leakage may cause an electric shock or fire. The shape of the power cord and outlet may differ by country and region.
	In the case of strange noise from the cord or plug, disconnect the power cord from the outlet immediately and contact the service center. A fire or electric shock may occur.
	Use the power supply/adapter approved by LG Electronics Inc. and never disassemble the product. Using a different product or disassembling it may cause an electric shock or fire.
	Always keep the adapter and power outlet clean. A fire may occur.
	Keep children and pets from damaging the power cord. It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
	Disconnect the PC completely before cleaning it. Otherwise, an electric shock or impairment may occur.
	If the adapter or the product is soaked, disconnect the battery, adapter, and all other lines before contacting the local service center. An electric shock or fire may occur.
	Ensure that the battery pack is locked to the machine after installation. Otherwise, the battery may be damaged.

Other Safety Precautions

Caution:

	Handle the machine with care to prevent loss of data from the storage device (HDD, SSD, eMMC). Since the storage device is fragile, you need to back up your important data frequently. The manufacturer is not responsible for any storage device data loss caused by a user's mistake.
	Damage to the storage device (HDD, SSD, eMMC) and data loss may occur when: External shocks are inflicted on the machine while disassembling or installing it. The machine is reset (i.e. restarted) or turned on again after a power outage while the storage device is operating. The PC is infected with a virus, tainting the data irrecoverably. Abrupt turning-off of the PC can damage the PC. If the product is moved, shaken or exposed to external shock while the storage device is running, file damage or bad sectors may occur.
	To minimize data loss resulting from storage device damage (HDD, SSD, eMMC), frequently back up important data. The manufacturer is not responsible for any data loss.
	We do not refund or replace a product that malfunctions due to the installation or use of an operating system other than the one provided by LG Electronics Inc. Some software applications may not work properly in other operating systems. Such malfunctions are not covered by the warranty.
