Traveling With Your Computer
Identifying Your Computer
• Attach a name tag or business card to the computer.
• Write down your Service Tag and store it in a safe place away from the
computer or carrying case. Use the Service Tag if you need to report a loss
or theft to law enforcement officials and to Dell.
• Create a file on the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
desktop called if_found . Place
information such as your name, address, and phone number in this file.
• Contact your credit card company and ask if it offers coded
identification tags.
Packing the Computer
• Remove any external devices attached to the computer and store them in a
safe place. Remove any cables attached to installed PC Cards, and remove
any extended PC Cards.

the module bay with the Dell TravelLite™ module.
• Fully charge the main battery and any spare batteries that you plan to carry
with you.
• Shut down the computer.
