• Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents.
• Back up your data regularly.
• Perform a virus scan regularly.
• Check your computer for errors using SupportAssist and other tools available on your computer.
• Clean your computer regularly using a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION
: Using water or other solvents to clean your computer may damage your computer.
• Ensure that there is enough free space on your device storage. Not having enough free space may result in degraded performance.
• Enable automatic Microsoft Windows and other software updates to address software issues and improve computer security.
Power management
Power management helps you reduce the electricity consumption of yourcomputer by regulating power supply to the various components.
The BIOS setup program and the operating system allow you to congure when the power supply to certain components should be
reduced or cut o.
Some common power-saving states in Microsoft Windows are:

when you want to start working again.
• Hibernation—Hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your computer storage, and then turns o your computer.
