precautions taken when moving the computer will help ensure trouble-free

operation.

Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer.

Check the HDD indicator on the computer.

If a CD/DVD is in the drives, remove it. Also make sure the disc tray is

securely closed.

Turn off the power to the computer.

Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the

computer.

Close the LCD display panel. Do not pick up the computer by its display

panel.

Before carrying your computer, shut down the computer, disconnect the

power cable and wait until the PC cools down. Failure to follow this

instruction could result in minor injury.

button has a lock, set it to the lock position. Also be careful not to

subject the computer to impact. Failure to follow this instruction could

result in damage to computer, computer failure or loss of data.
