4.2 General Care

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen and exterior. For stubborn marks, dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the laptop in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: For optimal battery health, avoid consistently discharging the battery to 0% or keeping it at 100% for extended periods. Periodically allow the battery to discharge to around 20-30% before recharging.
• Software Maintenance: Regularly update your operating system, drivers, and antivirus software to maintain performance and security.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter:

• Display Not Reaching 360Hz: If your display is not achieving the advertised 360Hz refresh rate, ensure that the dedicated graphics direct connection mode is enabled within the AI Intelligent Control Center. This setting is crucial for utilizing the full potential of the display.
• Battery Drains While Plugged In: Under heavy load, especially during intense gaming or demanding tasks, the laptop's power consumption might exceed the 280W supplied by the power brick. This can lead to a slow battery drain even when plugged in. This is normal behavior for high-performance gaming laptops. To mitigate this, ensure no other power-intensive devices are charging from the laptop's USB ports during peak usage.
• RGB Keyboard Customization Issues: If you are unable to properly change individual key colors or lighting effects, verify that the AI Intelligent Control Center software is up-to-date and running correctly. Some advanced customization options may require specific software versions or settings.
• Overheating: If the laptop feels excessively hot, ensure the cooling vents are clear of obstructions. Activate the one-click cooling function or set the fan profile to 'Turbo Mode' in the Control Center. If the issue persists, consider cleaning the internal fans (professional service recommended).
