Transporting the Notebook
Please use the following guidelines when transporting the notebook:
Switch off the notebook. This will prevent damage to the hard disk. When the
notebook is turned off, the hard disk heads are moved into a safe area.
Wait until the Notebook has reached ambient (room) temperature before connecting
it to the power supply. Drastic variations in temperature and humidity can create
condensation within the Notebook and may cause it to short-circuit.
Close the notebook.
Always use a notebook carrying case. This helps to protect the notebook from dirt,
moisture, jolts and scratches.
Should you need to ship your notebook, always use the original packaging and make
certain the shipper knows the contents contain fragile electronic equipment.
Fully charge your battery and any spare batteries immediately before a long journey.
Enquire about the electricity and communication provision at the location before a
journey.
Acquire the necessary adapter for electricity or communication (modem, LAN, etc.), if
necessary, before starting your journey.
Put the battery into the packaging separately when despatching the notebook.
It is recommended to send the notebook and all magnetic storage media (floppy
disks, external drives) through the x-ray device (the device into which you put your
bags), when you are passing through the baggage check at airports. Avoid the
magnetic detector (the construction, through which you walk) or the magnetic rod
(the manual device of the security personnel), because they could destroy your data,
among other consequences.
