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.

• If you need to stop for an extended period of time and cannot carry the

computer with you, leave the computer in the trunk of the car to avoid
exposing the computer to excessive heat.

• Changes in temperature and humidity can cause condensation. Allow

the computer to return to room temperature, and inspect the screen for
condensation before turning on the computer. If the temperature
change is greater than 10° C (18° F), allow the computer to come to
room temperature slowly. If possible, leave the computer for 30 minutes
in an environment with a temperature between outside and room
temperature.

Setting up a home office

If you frequently work on your computer at home, you may want to
purchase a second AC adapter for use at home. With a second AC
adapter, you can avoid carrying the extra weight to and from home.

If you use your computer at home for significant periods of time, you
might also want to add an external keyboard, monitor or mouse.
