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 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 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.
