Transportation Precautions 1 - 5

Introducing the Notebook PC

Transportation Precautions

To prepare the Notebook PC for transport, you should turn it OFF and disconnect all external peripherals to prevent
damage to the connectors. The hard disk drive’s head retracts when the power is turned OFF to prevent scratching of the
hard disk surface during transport. Therefore, you should not transport the Notebook PC while the power is still ON. Close
the display panel and check that it is latched securely in the closed position to protect the keyboard and display panel.

  IMPORTANT! The Notebook PC’s surface is easily dulled if not properly cared for. Be careful not to rub or

        scrape the Notebook PC surfaces.

Cover Your Notebook PC

Purchase a carrying bag to protect the Notebook PC from dirt, water, shock, and scratches.

Charge Your Batteries

If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and any optional battery packs before going
on long trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and
an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack when the Notebook PC is in use.

Airplane Precautions

Contact your airline if you want to use the Notebook PC on the airplane. Most airlines will have restrictions for using
electronic devices. Most airlines will allow electronic use only between and not during takeoffs and landings.

  IMPORTANT! There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (used on items placed

       on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and magnetic
       wands (hand-held devices used on people or individual items). You can send your Notebook PC and
       diskettes through airport X-ray machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your
       Notebook PC or diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.
