Basic Care

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

• Place Chromebooks on an even surface so they don’t accidentally fall.

• Avoid placing or stacking heavy objects on your Chromebook, or putting pressure on a closed Chromebook.

• Make sure the Chromebook is not exposed to excessive heat or cold.

• Do not block airflow to the device (putting the Chromebook under a blanket, working on your lap).

• Don't close the Chromebook with anything inside it (pen, pencil, packet, etc.)

Transporting Chromebooks

• Move Chromebooks with care.

• Close your Chromebook before moving it; do not hold by the screen to transport.

• Support your Chromebook from the bottom.

• Don't place the Chromebook in a bag, backpack, or other carrying case that has sharp objects in it.

• Be careful not to drop or kick bags containing your Chromebook.

Power and Charging

• Plug your Chromebook in every night so it is ready to go in the morning.

• Gently remove the power cord when the Chromebook is not being charged.

• Keep battery life charged above 5% to avoid damage to the battery.

• Restart/power off at least once a week.

• Charge the Chromebook using the port on the side that has the blue/orange light.

Cleaning

• Clean your Chromebook like you would a pair of glasses.

• Use water to lightly moisten a cloth, then gently wipe down the keyboard and screen.

• Never submerge the Chromebook or spray cleaning solutions directly onto the device.

• Don't use products containing alcohol, ammonia or strong solvents.

Troubleshooting

• If the Chromebook is stuck on a black screen, hold the power button for 30 seconds (restarting/powering off weekly will help with this issue).
