    General Precautions

    • Food +/or drink should not be consumed near your Chromebook.
    • Cords, cables, and removable storage devices must be inserted or removed carefully to avoid damaging the Chromebook’s ports.
    • Never transport your Chromebook with the power cord plugged in.

    Screen Care

    • Chromebook screens can be easily damaged. The screens are particularly sensitive to damage from excessive pressure.
    • 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 poke the screen with anything that will mark or scratch the screen surface. Use the stylus or your finger.
    • Do not place anything on the keyboard before closing the lid (e.g. pens, pencils, or disks).

    • Chromebooks should not be stored in a vehicle at school or at home for security and temperature control measures.
