Chromebook Care and Maintenance Basics

Protecting Your Chromebook:

• Chromebook should remain "Put Away" WHEN NOT IN USE and SHOULD NOT be in a place where someone could accidentally sit or step on it.

• When carrying the Chromebook to and from school campus, it is expected that the device be STORED SAFELY in a backpack, bag, or other carrying case.

• A Chromebook in a backpack cannot bear excessive weight, so MAKE SURE your chromebook is on top of all books and folders when setting your backpack down.

• Chromebook should be kept at room temperature and should NOT be exposed to extremes of hot or cold. DO NOT leave the Chromebook in an automobile or outside.

• DO NOT lean on the top of the Chromebook when it is closed or place anything on the keyboard before closing the lid (e.g. pens or pencils, etc.)

• Chromebooks should NEVER be picked up by the lid. Students should close the chromebook before it is picked up.

• Liquids and food SHOULD NOT be used/consumed in the vicinity of the Chromebook.

Cleaning Your Chromebook

• Cleaners, sprays, alcohol, ammonia or abrasives SHOULD NOT be on the Chromebook.

• Chromebook should be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Charging Your Chromebook

• Chromebooks ARE REQUIRED to be fully charged when you arrive at school each day.

• When charging, place your Chromebook in an area that will prevent people from tripping over the power cord. This could injure the person and/or damage the Chromebook.

• Determine a consistent place and time to charge your Chromebook at home. (e.g. before bedtime)

• Dim the screen to the lowest comfortable level to achieve maximum battery life.

• Turn off Bluetooth to maximize your battery life.

Other Important Reminders

• DO NOT add any stickers or any other decorative items that would alter the appearance of the Chromebook.

• DO NOT TAMPER with school/district tags that are present on the Chromebook.

• Never leave your Chromebook unattended or "give to your friend to take care of." IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

• If your Chromebook is damaged or lost, IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY AN ADULT and check with the classroom or place you just left.

• Use WiFi when available. Learn how to turn your WiFi and LTE on and off here.

• Be mindful you have a monthly 10G data cap. Only use the Chromebook for school related materials and videos. Also, remember to close any apps that are not in use.
