Long-term storage (more than 2 weeks)
1. Save your work on a hard disk or floppy disks.
2. Choose Shut Down from the Special menu.
3. Close the display.
4. Recharge the battery.
Plug in the power adapter or use the recharger.
5. If you recharged the battery in a recharger, put the
battery back into the computer.
6. Store the computer in a cool, dry place.
Storage temperatures should remain between 50°F/10°C and
104°F/40°C. Avoid leaving the computer where temperatures
may be extreme or unpredictable—in the trunk of a car, for
example.
If you leave the battery in storage for more than 6 months,
you may not be able to recharge it.
Using the security feature
Your PowerBook has a security slot to which you can connect a
locking device and security cable. See your authorized Apple
reseller for more information about this security system.
Service and support
If the PowerBook malfunctions or is damaged
If your computer is malfunctioning but does not appear to be
physically damaged, shut it down (and leave the power adapter
plugged in, if possible) until you can get help.
If you know or suspect that your computer is physically damaged,
disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery, and do not use
the computer until it can be repaired.
