PART C: Instructions for Use and Care of Laptop

USE AND CARE OF THE LAPTOP COMPUTER

UsageDont use your Computer or Mobile Device on soft surfaces (e.g. sofa, bed or carpet) because it can restrict
airflow and cause overheating. Avoid dropping or bumping your Computer or Mobile Device. Dont place your Computer or Mobile Device in areas that may get very hot. Dont get your Computer or Mobile Device wet, even though they will dry and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard. Follow all instructions given by staff. Login correctly and logoff when finished. Always shut down computers through the Start Shutdown mechanism. Always package, carry and store your Computer or Mobile Device in appropriate and secure carry cases for transporting. Do not personalise or deface your Computer or Mobile Device with any labels or other marks. The School will personalise your Computer or Mobile Device, to ensure students do not get the devices mixedup. Dont place objects on top of your Computer or Mobile Device and never carry it around while it is turned on. Avoid exposing your Computer or Mobile Device to direct sunlight or sources of heat such as desk lamps, dust, dirt, rain, liquids or moisture, heavy shock or vibration

Handling your computer or mobile device computer

Try to avoid moving your Computer or Mobile Device around when it is on. Before switching on, gently place your Computer or Mobile device on a stable surface and then switch on. You still need to be careful with your Computer or Mobile Device while it is in the bag. Do not drop the bag from your shoulder. Always place the computer or mobile device bag gently down. Be careful when putting the Computer or Mobile Device in the car that no other items are on top of it and nothing will roll on to the Computer or Mobile Device bag. Computer or Mobile Devices should be switched off before being placed into the bag.

Packing away your computer or mobile device

Always store your Computer or Mobile Device bottom down and with the LCD facing away from the front of the backpack. Do not wrap the cord too tightly around the power adapter or the cord will become damaged.

Care of computer or mobile device bag

The bag should be fully zipped up before being carried The bag should be fully unzipped before removing the computer or mobile device to avoid non-warranty bag damage.

LCD screen
LCD screens are delicate - they dont like being poked, prodded, pushed or slammed. Never pick up your Computer or Mobile Device by its screen. Dont slam the screen closed and always be ge ntle when putting your Computer or Mobile Device down. To clean your LCD screen: Switch off your Computer or Mobile Device. Lightly dampen a non-abrasive cloth with water and gently wipe screen in a circular motion. Do not directly apply water or cleaner to the screen. Avoid applying pressure to the screen.

AC adapter
Connect your adapter only to your Computer or Mobile Device. Do not step on your power cord or place heavy objects on top of it. Keep your cord away from heavy traffic areas. When unplugging the power cord, pull on the plug itself, rather than the cord. Do not wrap your cord tightly around the adapter box.

Page 13 of 18

PART C: Instructions for Use and Care of Laptop Battery

Once a week fully flatten your batteries. Then re-charge the batteries fully. This will extend the life of your battery cells. Do not tamper with the connections. Dont use incompatible computer batteries and chargers. Computer batteries can get hot during use. Do not use the Computer or Mobile Device on your lap. Have fully charged battery/batteries at the start of each school day. All charging should be undertaken at home, as the school will not have the infrastructure or resources available to charge batteries for every student. Dont permit a loose battery to come in contact with metal objects, such as coins, keys or jewellery. Dont crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery as this can cause an internal short -circuit, resulting in overheating. Dont get your battery wet, even though it will dry and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard. Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines found in the computers user guide .

Keyboard
Gently brush your keyboard with a clean soft bristled paint brush or similar to remove dirt. If any key tops are missing or keys are in a damaged state, take your Computer or Mobile Device to school Technicians to be repaired immediately. A single key top can easily be replaced but continuing to use the keyboard with a missing key top can result in having to replace the entire keyboard.

Casing Cleaning
Take a non-abrasive cloth and spray a glass cleaner (or like) on to cloth to moisten. Do not spray anything directly on to the casing of your Computer or Mobile Device. Gently rub your Computer or Mobile Device casing with the moistened cloth to remove any dirty marks.

Security
Report any technology device fault or suspected virus activity to the nearest staff member. Undertake virus scans of the Computer or Mobile Device after home usage and prior to reconnecting to the Schools ICT network. Make regular backups of your saved work. Keep your login and password confidential. Dont tamper either physically or electronically with either hardware or software settings. Dont attempt or undertake any malicious behaviour towards the Schools ICT resources. Dont attempt to or undertake unauthorised access to ICT resources or entities. Dont have food or drink near the Computer or Mobile Device. A good idea is to attach a fairly large name tag in a bright colour to the case or bag so it is easy to identify. Remember, over the life of the program this Computer or Mobile Device may not be with the same student the whole time, and it may need to be returned for servicing at any time.

Software
Dont copy any software from the Schools ICT network or system. All technology equipment should only have operating systems loaded that are compliant with the Department of Education and Trainings standards. Keep your virus check software up-to-date. If your virus check software detects virus activity then carefully follow the instructions for removal and advise the nearest staff member. If unsure, quarantine the Computer or Mobile Device and disks and immediately consult with the Schools IT staff. Always adhere to licensing and copying agreements. Never use the Computer or Mobile Device to engage in illegal activity, including violation of copyright or other contracts
