Transporting the notebook
Please observe the points listed below when transporting your notebook.
Before you travel
• Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
• If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight attendants if it is
permissible to do so.
• If you are travelling abroad, ensure that the power adapter can be operated with the local
mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate power adapter for your notebook.
Do not use any other voltage converter!
i
If you travel in another country, check whether the local power supply and the
specifications of the power cable are compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable
that matches the local conditions. Do not use a connection adapter for electrical devices
to connect the notebook.
If you use a modem, incompatibilities with the local telecommunications system may
result.
Transporting the notebook
• Remove all data carriers (e.g. floppy disk, CD) from the drives.
• Switch the notebook off.
• Unplug the power adapter and all external devices from the mains outlet.
• Disconnect the power adapter cable and the data cables for all external devices.
• Close the LCD screen so that it locks into place.
• To protect against damaging jolts and bumps, use a notebook carrying case to transport your
notebook.
• Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight in a
car).
