- Caring for your LIFEBOOK Notebook
Storing your LIFEBOOK notebook
•
If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn your LIFEBOOK notebook off, fully charge the battery, then
remove and store all Lithium ion batteries.
•
Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you store your notebook with a battery installed, the battery
will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addition, a faulty battery might damage your LIFEBOOK.
•
Store your LIFEBOOK in a cool, dry location. Temperatures should remain between 5° to 140° F (–15° to 60° C).
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 baggage.
•
Always bring your System Recovery CD that came with your notebook when you travel. If you experience system
software problems while traveling, you may need it to correct any problems.
•
Never put your notebook through a metal detector. Have it hand-inspected by security personnel. You can put
your notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems, place your notebook close to the
machine entrance and remove it as soon as possible or have it hand-inspected. Security officials may require
you to turn your notebook on, so have a charged battery on hand.
•
Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling overseas. Check the following diagram to determine which
plug adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.
