Storing the PowerBook

1. Save your work onto a hard disk or floppy disks.

2. Choose Shut Down from the Special menu.

3. Close the display.

4. Store the computer in a cool, dry place.

Storage temperatures should remain between 10° C/50° F and
40° C/104° F. Avoid leaving the computer where temperatures
may be extreme or unpredictable—in the trunk of a car, for
example.

You can store the computer with or without its battery. If you’re
planning to store the computer for longer than a month, plug in
the power adapter or remove the battery.
