Device Care

Protecting your Chromebook

• Do not add any stickers or any other decorative items that would alter the appearance of the Chromebook from when it was received.
• Do not tamper with school tags or stickers that are present on the Chromebooks.
• Use both hands when opening the Chromebooks.
• Do not hold the Chromebook by the screen.
• Always close the Chromebook before walking with it--remember, it has an 8-second startup.
• Never pack your Chromebook with other materials. Keep it separate from textbooks and other heavy objects that could potentially damage the screen.
• Keep food and drink away from your Chromebook.
• Treat your Chromebook as a valuable material--do not leave it lying around.

Cleaning your Chromebook

• Do not use any chemicals or other liquids to clean your Chromebook.
• Use microfiber cloth to wipe down the screen
   

Powering your Chromebook

• Chromebooks should be fully charged when you arrive at school each day.
• When charging, be sure to place the Chromebook in an area that will prevent people from tripping from the power cord. This could injure the person and/or damage the Chromebook.
• Determine a consistent place to charge your Chromebook at home.
   

Protecting your Account

• Anytime you leave your Chromebook on your desk, close the lid so that no one can access your documents.
• Do not share your Chromebook with anyone unless your teacher asks you to do so--In that case, be sure to sign out before you hand your Chromebook to the other student!
• Do not share your password with anyone!

Other important reminders

• Anything you do on the Internet (on any device) is visible to someone--the Internet Service Provider, the company whose service you are using, others who can access your computer, etc.
• Pictures, music, etc., on your Chromebook should be appropriate for school--just like the pictures inside your locker or on your binder or music that might be played in a classroom at school.
