Travel Tips

Although notebooks are designed to be as robust as possible to cater

for a mobile lifestyle, extreme care and caution should be taken when
travelling. When travelling by land, sea or air, every precaution should be
taken to make sure that the notebook is well secured when it is not in use.

● The most essential accessory you should have when travelling is a

good carry case for your notebook. The case should be well padded
to protect your notebook from drops and bumps, etc and should be
big enough to hold the size of notebook.

● Make sure there is enough room to carry your AC Adaptor and spare

battery etc. Only carry the necessary items in your carry case, as the
weight can become tedious especially when walking long distances
or waiting in long queue’s.

● When travelling by air, never book your notebook in with checked

baggage. Always declare it as hand baggage so that you can carry
it into the airplane cabin with you. Most airlines allow two pieces of
hand baggage with one of them being a bag or carry case with a
portable notebook. Please consult your local airline for more details.

● When placing your notebook on an X-Ray, make sure that you keep

a close eye on it when it is one the conveyor belt. Hold on to your
notebook until the last minute before placing it on the conveyor.
In some airports it could be stolen while you are stuck in a queue
waiting to pass through the metal detector.

● Notebooks and hard drives can pass through X-Ray machines but

never allow these to pass through a metal detector. This can cause
data loss to the hard drive.

● Never place your notebook in the overhead storage compartment as

this can make it susceptible to damage caused by turbulence that
may be experienced during the flight or in other case theft. You can

store your notebook under your seat, where it is always in sight.

● You should take every precaution to protect your notebook from dust,

dirt, liquid spillage, food droppings, extreme weather conditions and
direct exposure to sunlight.

● When travelling between different climates, from one extreme to

another, condensation may occur inside the notebook. If this does
happen, please allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate
completely, before attempting to switch on.

● When travelling from extremely colder to extremely warmer climates

in a short space of time, and vice versa, please allow the notebook
some time to adapt to the change in environment.

Usage Tips

● When unplugging the power connector from the notebook, please

hold and pull on the connector or the strain relief loop to disconnect.

Do not pull the power cord itself as this can cause damage to the

cable or the notebook.

● In the event of an electrical storm, please disconnect the notebook

from the power source and unplug any network or telephone cables
that may be connected to the notebook.

● Do not use the notebook near water sources, like bathtubs, washing

basins, kitchen or laundry sinks or swimming pools. Liquid that can
spill onto the notebook by accident can cause electric shock to you
and damage to the notebook.
