■ Attach a copy of your receipt showing where your computer was
purchased.

Always take care of your computer and try to prevent it from being stolen.
You are the owner of a valuable technical device, which may be highly
attractive to thieves, so please do not leave it unattended in a public place.
To further help protect against theft, security cables can be bought for use
with your notebook when it is being used at home or in the office.
Make a note of your computer’s machine type, model number, and serial

underside of your notebook. Please also keep the receipt of the computer
you purchased.
