Protecting your Chromebook

• It would be best not to add any stickers or any other decorative items to the casing - other than those approved for use on 'laptops' - as the gum or residue may cause damage. We can ID label the base of the Chromebook on request using approved labelling tape.
• Best to use both hands when opening the Chromebooks.
• Always close the Chromebook before walking with it - remember it has an 8-second startup.
• Think about keeping it separate from textbooks and other heavy objects so as to prevent damage.
• Keep food and drink away from your Chromebook
• Do not leave it lying around.

Protecting your Chromebook Screen

• Despite it being ‘rugged’ by design, the Chromebook screen can still be damaged if subjected to rough treatment or excessive pressure on the screen.
• Do not lean on top of the Chromebook.
• Do not place anything near the Chromebook that could put pressure on the screen.
• Do not place anything on the keyboard before closing the lid (e.g. pens, pencils, notebooks).

Cleaning your Chromebook

• Do not use any chemicals or other liquids to clean your Chromebook, use a microfiber cloth to wipe down the screen.

Powering your Chromebook

• Chromebooks are required to be fully charged for when you arrive at school each day, the battery is designed to last the whole of the school day.
• It is your responsibility to ensure your Chromebook is fully charged for the school day as it will not be possible to charge them in school.

Protecting your Account

• Do not share your password with anyone!
