LAPTOP HANDLING AND SAFETY
All laptops and electronic devices should be handled with the utmost care. Here are some tips to keep your district-issued laptop safe and ready for use.
Shut down the laptop off daily. Don't simply put it in sleep (Closing the lid) or standby mode.
Click on the Apple Icon on the top left corner of the screen
Click "Shut Down..."
Clean laptop screens only with approved solutions or monitor wipes.
Don't touch the screen with objects that can scratch the surface.
Keep the lid closed when the computer is not in use for an extended period of time. This helps limit the amount of dust that can settle inside the laptop such as the keyboard and trackpad. It also saves battery life and prevents the keyboard from accidental liquid spill damage.
Laptops will overheat without proper ventilation. Please avoid placing the laptop on blankets, pillows, heaters, or other non-flat surfaces that could prevent sufficient ventilation.
Please be mindful of where you take the laptop. Avoid areas with dirt, sand, or water to prevent accidental damage to the laptop.
You should always carry it in a good-quality bag that provides protection against drops and jostles. Never place anything on top of the laptop.
