ThinkPad Twist Convertible Laptops and Cart
A How-To Tutorial for Students
Set Up and Clean Up• Cleanly remove and return computers. • Carefully unplug laptops without yanking power cords loose
from cart. • Carry laptops securely.• Plug in and place laptops in the correct slot at end of class. • Do not take laptops from the classroom. The laptops must stay
in the room with the cart. • The more care and time you take with computers, the longer
they will last.• Computer use is a privilege. If you violate the rules outlined in
your technology contract, you risk losing that privilege.

Tips and Tricks• You do not need a user name and password to
log in to Twists. – Use same computer consistently for this reason.– This is also a good rationale for returning
computers to the correct slot in the cart.– Delete your files from the computers after
completing your projects and assignments.• When you shut the lid, the Twist will shut
down.
• If screen saver appears, swipe screen up with finger. • Sign out of apps by swiping down from top of screen
or up from bottom of screen to get to main menu.• To split screen (25/75), swipe slowly left or right.
Good for note taking.• To lock screen orientation, press button just above
power button. • Touch pad sometimes lags; use touch screen if you
need more precision.
