Safety Handling Components Aid Appendix
TRANSPORTING THE NOTEBOOK
Please use the following guidelines when transporting the note-
book:
* 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 PC has reached ambient (room) temperature
before connecting it to the power supply. Drastic variations in
temperature and humidity can create condensation within the
PC and may cause it to short-circuit.
* Close the notebook and ensure that the cover locks shut.
* Always use the 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 origi-
nal packaging and make certain the shipper knows the con-
tents 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 despatch-
ing 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.
