10 Notebook PC User Manual
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.
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.
