Using the Notebook Safely
To protect the notebook from the power surges that may be
caused by an unreliable power supply or an electrical storm:
■
Plug the notebook power cord into an optional, high-quality
surge protector.
■
Provide surge protection for the cable that connects the
modem to the telephone jack.
■
During an electrical storm, run the notebook on battery power
or shut down the notebook and disconnect the power cord.
Surge protectors are available from most computer or electronics
retailers.
