Taking Care of Your Chromebook

Pupils are responsible for the general care of the Chromebook they have been issued by the school.

Pupils should never leave their Chromebooks unattended except locked in their locker.

• No food or drink should be consumed near any Chromebook.
• Cords, cables, and removable storage devices must be inserted carefully into Chromebooks.
• Chromebooks should not be used or stored near pets.
• Chromebooks should not be used with the power cord plugged in when the cord may be a tripping hazard.
• Heavy objects should never be placed on top of Chromebooks.

• Always transport Chromebooks with care and with the screen closed. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action.
• Never lift Chromebooks by the screen.
• Never carry Chromebooks with the screen open.

• Don't drop them. This can break the hinge, latch, or worse.
• Keep your Chromebook away from the edges of tables and desks.

• Always place your Chromebook on a flat, stable surface
• Do not place it on top of stacks of paper, blanket, upholstery, or anything else that is an insulator.
• The bottom of your Chromebook is a cooling surface. Excessive heat buildup will lead to premature failure. The computer needs proper airflow to operate correctly.

• Your Chromebook’s LCD Display is a very expensive component, and physical damage to it is not covered by warranty. If you drop your Chromebook or slam the lid shut, it may crack. Make sure you don't have anything between the screen and keyboard as you close the case, such as a pencil.
• If you open the screen beyond its hinge limitation it will break and will be very costly to repair. It is not designed to open to a flat position.
• Do not pick it up by the screen.
• Don't place items on top of your Chromebook as the weight can cause damage to the screen.
• Always keep magnetic devices away from your Chromebook.
