Identifying Your Computer
●
Attach a name tag or business card to the computer.
●
Write down your Service Tag and store it in a safe place away from the computer or carrying
case. Use the Service Tag if you need to report a loss or theft to law enforcement officials and
to Dell.
●
Create a file on the Microsoft® Windows® desktop called
if_found
. Place information such as
your name, address, and phone number in this file.
●
Contact your credit card company and ask if it offers coded identification tags.
Packing the Computer

Remove any external devices attached to the computer and store them in a safe place. Remove
any cables attached to installed PC Cards, and remove any extended PC Cards (see

the Dell TravelLite module.

Fully charge the main battery and any spare batteries that you plan to carry with you.
