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 bag-
gage.
■ Always bring your System Recovery CD that came with
your notebook when you travel. If you experience sys-
tem 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 per-
sonnel. 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. Secu-
rity officials may require you to turn your notebook
On. Make sure you have a charged battery on hand.
■ Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling over-
seas. Check the following diagram to determine which
plug adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.
BATTERIES
Caring for your Batteries
■ Always handle batteries carefully.
■ Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not
carry loose batteries in a pocket or purse where they
may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing
so may cause an explosion or fire.
■ Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
erate the battery.
■ Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and
only in ventilated areas.
■ Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a
day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
■ Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6
months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
■ Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or
optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.
■ If your notebook is running on battery power all day,
connect it to the AC adapter overnight to recharge the
battery.
■ Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.
■ Set the power management for maximum battery life.
■ Put your notebook in Standby mode when it is turned
on and you are not actually using it.
■ Limit your media drive access.
■ Disable the Media Player auto insert notification
function.
■ Always use fully charged batteries.
■ Eject PC Cards and ExpressCards when not in use.
FLOPPY DISKS AND DRIVES
Caring for your Floppy Disks
Note that the external floppy disk drive is an optional
device.
■ Avoid using the floppy disks in damp and dusty
locations.
■ Never store a floppy disk near a magnet or magnetic
field.
■ Do not use a pencil or an eraser on a disk or disk label.
■ Avoid storing the floppy disks in extremely hot or cold
locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature
changes. Store at temperatures between 50º F (10ºC)
and 125ºF (52ºC).
■ Do not touch the exposed part of the disk behind the
metal shutter.
■ Never use the floppy disk drive with any liquid, metal,
or other foreign matter inside the floppy disk drive
