Security
■
Get a locking cable for your notebook so
you can attach a cable lock and leave your
notebook in your hotel room while you are
away.
■
Always keep your notebook with you while
waiting in airports, train stations, or bus
terminals. Be ready to claim your notebook
as soon as it passes through the X-ray
machine in security checkpoints.
■
Write down your notebook model number
and serial number (located on the bottom
of your notebook) in case of theft or loss,
and keep the information in a safe place.
Also, tape your business card or an address
label to your notebook and accessories.
■
Whoever sits next to you or behind you can
see your notebook display. Avoid working
with confidential files until you can be sure
of privacy.
Important
Use a password that
you can remember,
but that is difficult for
someone else to guess.
The password feature
is very secure, with no
easy way to recover a
forgotten password. If
you forget your
password, you must
return your notebook
to Gateway for service.
■
Use a startup password to restrict access to
your notebook. The startup password is set
using the BIOS utility.
