- Caring for your LIFEBOOK Notebook
Storing your LIFEBOOK notebook
• If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn your LIFEBOOK notebook off, fully charge the battery, then
remove and store all Lithium ion batteries.
• Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you store your LIFEBOOK with a battery installed, the battery
will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addition, a faulty battery might damage your LIFEBOOK.
• Store your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK in a cool, dry location. Temperatures should remain between 13ºF (-25ºC) and
140ºF (60ºC).
Traveling with your LIFEBOOK notebook
• Do not transport your notebook while it is turned on.
• It is recommended that you carry your notebook with you while traveling, rather than checking it in as
baggage.
• Always bring your System Recovery disc(s) when you travel. If you experience system software problems while
traveling, you may need it to correct any problems.
• Never put your notebook through a metal detector. Have your notebook hand-inspected by
security personnel. You can however, put your notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid
problems, place your notebook close to the entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as possible or have
your notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Security officials may require you to turn your notebook
on, so make sure you have a charged battery on hand.
• ALWAYS POWER OFF THE COMPUTER BEFORE TRANSPORTING AND/OR PACKAGING IT. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM, WAIT UNTIL THE
STATUS LED PANEL INDICATES POWER OFF (I.E., NO LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED).
• IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE UNIT MAY NOT AUTOMATICALLY GO TO POWER OFF OR HIBERNATE MODE WHEN YOU CLOSE THE LID. THIS SITUATION
MAY OCCUR DUE TO PRE-OS BOOT PASSWORD SECURITY SETTINGS OR SOME OTHER APPLICATION RUNNING ON THE COMPUTER.
• ATTEMPTING TO TRANSPORT THE COMPUTER WHILE POWER IS ON MAY DAMAGE THE NOTEBOOK DUE TO SHOCK OR OVERHEATING SINCE THE AIR
VENTS MAY BE BLOCKED OR RESTRICTED.
