Introducing the Notebook PC
IMPORTANT! There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines
(used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people
walking through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on
people or individual items). You can send your Notebook PC and diskettes through
airport X-ray machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your
Notebook PC or diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to
magnetic wands.
Charge Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and
any optional battery packs before going on long trips� Remember that the power
adapter charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and an
AC power source� Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack
when the Notebook PC is in use�
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Notebook PC on the airplane� Most airlines
will have restrictions for using electronic devices� Most airlines will allow electronic
use only between and not during takeoffs and landings�
Transportation Precautions
To prepare the Notebook PC for transport, you should turn it OFF and disconnect
all external peripherals to prevent damage to the connectors� The hard disk drive’s
head retracts when the power is turned OFF to prevent scratching of the hard disk
surface during transport� Therefore, you should not transport the Notebook PC while
the power is still ON� Close the display panel and check that it is latched securely
in the closed position to protect the keyboard and display panel�
IMPORTANT! The Notebook PC’s surface is easily dulled if not properly cared for.
Be careful not to rub or scrape the Notebook PC surfaces.
Cover Your Notebook PC
Purchase a carrying bag to protect the Notebook PC from dirt, water, shock, and
scratches�
