A Chromebook is an excellent learning tool, but it is not a toy. It is a computer, and must be handled with care.
Care
- Your Chromebook is portable. It enables you to take you doc's and other information wherever you go.
- Place it in its protective case when you’re not using it. It is especially important that your Chromebook is inside the protective case whenever you’re moving it from one location to another.
- When using your Chromebook and case, remember the device is in there.
- Keep your Chromebook dry, and protect it from liquid.
- Close the lid of your Chromebook before carrying it from one location to another. This ensures all mechanical and moving parts are not damaged during transit. Moving the Chromebook with the lid open places stress on the hinges.
- Close your Chromebook carefully, from the centre of the screen— don’t slam it shut!
- Use your Chromebook on a flat, hard, stable surface.
- Plug in your Chromebook when you get home from school so that your battery is fully charged for the next day.
Cleaning
- Wipe surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth.
- Do NOT use water or other cleaning solutions on your Chromebook. (the screen may be cleaned with a solution, but ensure you use the correct one)
- To keep the screen clean, be sure you touch it with clean fingers.
- Speak to the eLearning facilitator if you are unsure how to clean your device.
Power Cable
- The Power Cable should be lined up straight with the connector when inserting and removing.
- Be careful not to jerk / pull / twist your Chromebook around when the cables are attached.
- Be careful when moving around your device while it is plugged in.
Wireless Internet
- Your Chromebook is a wireless only device. A wireless network is required to use the device
