Surge Protection
A large number of computer and high technology equipment damage is directly related to AC power and telephone
line problems. These problems can include surges, spikes, noise, interference, and weather-related problems, which
in turn can cause glitches, hang-ups, crashes, performance slow downs, and down time with computer equipment.
The market is flooded with hundreds of AC power line surge suppressors advertising high performance surge
protection; only a few of them actually provide adequate protection.
This section provides guidelines for selecting a quality surge suppressor to be used with your GoBook VR-2, and it
helps identify a few sources for products with acceptable performance.
Selecting the Right Surge Protection
The optional vehicle dock enables you to use and recharge your GoBook
VR-2 quickly and efficiently in the your vehicle. Once setup, it provides
drop-in convenience with no cables to attach or detach to your GoBook
VR-2 when you enter or leave your vehicle. Simply place the computer
in the dock and turn it on. Once attached to the Vehicle Dock, the
computer's battery is recharged and conditioned automatically wether the
computer is active, suspended or even powered off.
