• Contact your airline provider to learn about related in-flight services that can be used and restrictions that must be followed when using your Notebook PC in-flight.

 

• Disconnect the AC power and remove the battery pack (if applicable) before cleaning your Notebook PC. Use a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened with a solution of nonabrasive detergent and a few drops of warm water. Remove any extra moisture from your Notebook PC using a dry cloth. Keep any liquids from entering the chassis or keyboard gap to prevent short circuits or corrosion.

Battery safety information

Battery protection

• Frequently charging a battery under high voltage may shorten the battery life. To protect the battery, once the battery is fully charged, the system may stop charging when the battery power is between 90% and 100%.
  NOTE: The initiate battery power charging capacity is usually set between 90% and 99%. Actual value may vary by model.
• Charging or storing a battery in high ambient temperatures may result in permanent damage to the battery power capacity and rapidly shorten battery life. If the battery temperature is too high, the system may reduce the battery power charging capacity or even stop charging to protect the battery.
• Battery power capacity may drop even when your device is powered off and disconnected from the AC power. This is normal as the system still draws a small amount of power from the battery.

Standard battery care

• If you are not using your device for a long period of time, ensure to charge the battery power to 50% then power off your device and disconnect the AC power adapter. Recharge the battery power to 50% every three months to avoid over-discharging and prevent damage to the battery.
• Avoid charging the battery at high voltage for a prolonged period of time to extend the battery life. If you are constantly using AC power for your device, ensure to discharge the battery power to 50% at least once every two weeks. You can also adjust the settings from Battery Health Charging in MyASUS to help extend the battery life.
• It is recommended to store your battery at temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F) with the battery power at 50%. You can also adjust the settings from Battery Health Charging in MyASUS to help extend the battery life.
• Do not leave your battery in damp environments. Exposure to damp environments may increase the battery over-discharging rate. Low-temperature environment may damage the chemicals inside the battery while high temperature or overheating may result in a risk of explosion.
• Do not place your device or battery pack near radiators, fireplaces, furnaces, heaters, or any sources of heat with temperatures exceeding 60°C (140°F). The high temperature surrounding the environment may result in an explosion or leakage that may cause a fire.
