        LAPTOP

        POWER SUPPLY & POWER CORD

        FIRST STEPS

        To turn on the computer, hold down the power button for 1 second and release it, located on the upper right side.

        If the distribution you have chosen allows OEM installation (no user creation), it is time for you to create your username and password and set up your network.
        In case the chosen distribution does not allow OEM installation, the user and password is slimbook, in addition, if the root user is enabled or has requested disk encryption, his password is also slimbook, change it to a secure one!

        BATTERY

        Try not to discharge the battery from 100% to 0% directly; instead, aim to use the battery within an intermediate range between both extremes, as it experiences less stress (20-80%). Try to keep it above 20%.

        It is also recommended to connect the device to power only when charging and not to leave it always connected.

        Avoid constantly connecting and disconnecting the adapter every few minutes. Once the charging cycle is established, it's best not to interrupt it, thereby reducing battery degradation.

        WORK PROFILE

        The works profiles in this model can be changed with the key combinations Fn+10 (Energy Saver), Fn+11 (Balanced), Fn+12 (Performance). These modify the TDP values and the fan speed table to make it quieter or more powerful.
        If you want these combinations to work and the system to notify you of the change with a pop-up message, you must have Slimbook Service  installed.
        DESCRIPTION
        ENERGY SAVER (Fn+10)
        		Reduced TDP for increased battery level and quiet profile
        BALANCED (Fn+11) Recommended mode for power and battery balance
        PERFORMANCE (Fn+12) Increases TDP for heavy-duty tasks, but reduces battery level
        **Remember that to get the most out of your laptop, you need to have the charger connected as the TDP values increase.

        RECOMMENDATIONS

        Don't use your laptop when the ambient temperature exceeds 35°C.

        Try to keep vent holes clean and unobstructed.

        Use appropiated protection to carry the computer, avoid crushings and try not to place objects such as the charger over or under it. 

        It is recommended to have
        Slimbook Service  installed if yo use Linux, we hace a notifications section in wich we publish new BIOS updates and news relevant to your model.

        MAINTENANCE

        Thermal paste manufacturers only give 1 year warranty, so you should change it approximately every 1-2 years for proper maintenance.
        If you need help during the process, you can follow this tutorial:
        How to replace thermal paste

        To open your laptop, you can follow this
        link where we have some step by step video tutorials on how to do it.

        **You do not lose the warranty for opening the laptop, but you do lose it if you cause any damage because of it. Therefore, although you can open the laptop, do not open it if it is not necessary and do not do it during the first months of use, to test that everything works properly in a while**.

        If you have little experience and you want one of our technicians to perform the maintenance, you can contact us through the contact form at support contact form to get a budget.
