Chromebook  Care

                            CHROMEBOOK CARE

GENERAL CARE

• Do not have any food or drinks near the Chromebook.

• Cords, cables, and removable storage devices must be inserted carefully into the Chromebook.

• Do not place your Chromebook on uneven surfaces where they might be subject to an accidental fall.

• Avoid placing or dropping heavy objects on the top of the Chromebook.

• Chromebooks do not like excessive heat or cold. 

• Do not block air flow when device is on. While your Chromebook does not get overly hot as a traditional laptop might, it does need to breathe.

• Chromebooks have been labeled with a school inventory tag. Please do not remove the tag. No stickers, adhesive skins, etc. are to be placed on the Chromebook.

• Damage, loss, or theft must be reported immediately. All Chromebook repairs must be made through our technology department.

CARRYING CHROMEBOOKS

• Keep your Chromebook in the bag provided to you when not in use.

• Transport Chromebooks with care.

• Chromebook lids should always be closed and tightly secured when moving. Do not carry your Chromebook while the screen is open.

 • Unplug your Chromebook when it is not charging.

• Never move a Chromebook by lifting from the screen. Always support a Chromebook from its bottom with lid closed.

• When carrying your Chromebook in its bag, place the strap across your body to secure it and limit the possibility of dropping.

• Do not place other items in your Chromebook bag. The bag is meant to hold only the Chromebook. Other items can put pressure on the Chromebook screen.

 SCREEN CARE

• The Chromebook screens can be easily damaged! The screens are particularly sensitive to damage from excessive pressure on the screen.

• Do not lean or put pressure on the top of the Chromebook when it is closed.

 • Do not store the Chromebook with the screen in the open position.

• Do not place anything near the Chromebook that could put pressure on the screen.

• Do not poke the screen with anything that will mark or scratch the screen surface.

• Do not place anything on the keyboard before closing the lid (e.g. pens, pencils, or disks)

A/C POWER ADAPTER

• The port on the power adapter is fragile – insert and remove with care every time.

• Do not carry your Chromebook around with the power adapter plugged in.

CHARGING YOUR CHROMEBOOK

• The Chromebooks hold a charge for between 6-8 hours.

• Make sure to plug your Chromebook in each night so that it is fully charged for the morning.
