Protect the Notebook from Power Surges
To protect the notebook from the power surges that might be
caused by an uncertain power supply or an electrical storm:

surge protector. Surge protectors are available from most
computer or electronics retailers.
■ Provide surge protection on the cable that connects the
modem to a telephone line.

power or shut down the notebook and unplug the power cord.
