Transportation Precautions
To prepare the Notebook PC for transport, you should turn it OFF
and disconnect all external peripherals to prevent damage to
the connectors. The hard disk drive’s head retracts when the power
is turned OFF to prevent scratching of the hard disk surface during
transport. Therefore, you should not transport the Notebook PC
while the power is still ON. Close the display panel and check that
it is latched securely in the closed position to protect the keyboard
and display panel.
CAUTION! The Notebook PC’s surface is easily dulled if not
properly cared for. Be careful not to rub or scrape the Notebook
PC surfaces.
Cover Your Notebook PC
Purchase a carrying bag to protect the Notebook PC from dirt, water,
shock, and scratches.
Charge Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your
battery pack and any optional battery packs before going on long
trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as
long as it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be
aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack when the
Notebook PC is in use.
