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.

CAUTION! 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.

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.
