Traveling with your computer 40
English
Note: The computer may enter Hibernation or Deep Sleep mode after
being in Sleep mode for a period of time.
What to bring to meetings
If your meeting is relatively short, you probably do not need to bring
anything with you other than your computer. If your meeting will be longer,
or if your battery is not fully charged, you may want to bring the AC
adapter with you to plug in your computer in the meeting room.
If the meeting room does not have an electrical outlet, reduce the drain on
the battery by putting the computer in Sleep mode. Press <Fn> + <F4> or
close the display cover whenever you are not actively using the computer.
Taking the computer home
When you are moving from your office to your home or vice versa.
Preparing the computer
After disconnecting the computer from your desktop, follow these steps to
prepare the computer for the trip home:
• Check that you have removed all media and compact discs from the
drive(s). Failure to remove the media can damage the drive head.
• Pack the computer in a protective case that can prevent the computer
from sliding around and cushion it if it should fall.
Caution: Avoid packing items next to the top cover of the
computer. Pressure against the top cover can damage the screen.
What to take with you
Unless you have some items at home, take the following items with you:
• AC adapter and power cord.
• The printed setup poster.
Special considerations
Follow these guidelines to protect your computer while traveling to and
from work:
• Minimize the effects of temperature changes by keeping the computer
with you.
