Optional Equipment and Accessories
The GoBook II computer has several equipment and accessory options to further enhance your mobile computing
experience.
CAUTION
When purchasing any additional accessories, purchase only those accessories that are approved for use
with your computer. Some accessories are proprietary items and can be obtained through your system vendor. If you
use items that are not approved for use with this computer, you may cause your computer to malfunction, or to emit or
receive electromagnetic radiation in excess of local regulations. For non-proprietary accessories such as PC Cards or
printers, ensure that the accessory functions properly in your computer before making the purchase. Your system
vendor may be able to recommend reliable brands and models.
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 II, and it helps
identify a few sources for products with acceptable performance.
Selecting the Right Surge Protection
Consider the level of quality you need when selecting a surge suppressor. This depends on factors such as surge
environment, the type of equipment to be protected, and the quality of the electrical wiring and service.
Surge Environment
Surge environment refers to the damage potential from electrical surges in a particular geographical area. A high
quality suppressor should be used if there is frequent lightning activity in the area and the location service is fed by
overhead utility poles.
