Traveling with your LifeBook notebook
■
Do not transport your notebook while it is turned on.
■
It is recommended that you carry your notebook with
you while traveling, rather than checking it in as bag-
gage.
■
Always bring your System Recovery CD that came with
your notebook when you travel. If you experience sys-
tem software problems while traveling, you may need it
to correct any problems.
■
Never put your notebook through a metal detector.
Have your notebook hand-inspected by security per-
sonnel. You can however, put your notebook through a
properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems,
place your notebook close to the entrance of the
machine and remove it as soon as possible or have your
notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Secu-
rity officials may require you to turn your notebook
On. Make sure you have a charged battery on hand.
■
Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling over-
seas. Check the following diagram to determine which
plug adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.
BATTERIES
Caring for your Batteries
■
Always handle batteries carefully.
■
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not
carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may
mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so
may cause an explosion or fire.
■
Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
erate the battery.
■
Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and
only in ventilated areas.
■
Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a
day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
■
Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6
months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
■
Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or
optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.
■
If your notebook is running on battery power all day,
connect it to the AC adapter overnight to recharge the
battery.
■
Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.
■
Set the power management for maximum battery life.
■
Put your notebook in Sleep mode when it is turned on
and you are not actually using it.

Disable the Media Player auto insert notification
function.

Always use fully charged batteries.

Eject PC Cards and ExpressCards when not in use.
