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.

MOTHERBOARD SECURITY

By entering the BIOS with F2, you can deactivate components to enhance your privacy that cannot be initiated from the operating system. The components include the webcam, microphone, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

WORK PROFILE

The operating modes in this model can be changed with the Fn+F5 key combinations (Energy Saver Mode or Balance Mode) or from the BIOS (Advanced -> Operating Mode). 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 on your system.
**Remember that to get the most out of your laptop, you need to have the charger connected as the TDP values increase.

RECOMMENDATIONS


It's recommended not to use your device when temperature is over 35 degrees.

Try to keep vent holes clean and unobstructed.

Use appropriated 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 have a notifications section in which 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.
