Traveling With Your Computer
• Use the optional Dell™ carrying case to pack the computer and its
accessories together safely.
• Avoid packing the computer with items such as shaving cream, colognes,
perfumes, or food.
NOTICE:
If the computer has been exposed to extreme temperatures, allow it to
acclimate to room temperature for 1 hour before turning it on.
• Protect the computer, the batteries, and the hard drive from hazards such
as extreme temperatures and overexposure to sunlight, dirt, dust, or
liquids.
• Pack the computer so that it does not slide around in the trunk of your car
or in an overhead storage compartment.

visit, and have appropriate power adapters.
