Important notes

Transporting the notebook

Please observe the points listed below when transporting your notebook.

Before you travel

●Back up important data stored on your hard disk.

●Switch off the radio component (Wireless LAN/ Bluetooth) for security reasons when youn cannot exclude that the transmitted radio waves can negatively affect electrical and electronic devices in your surrounding area.

●Disconnect the notebook from the Port Replicator.

●If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight attendants if it is permissible to do so.

●If you are travelling abroad, ensure that the power adapter can be operated with the local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate power adapter for your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!

If you travel in another country, check whether the local power supply and the

i specifications of the power cable are compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions. Do not use a connection adapter for electrical devices to connect the notebook.

If you use a modem, incompatibilities with the local telecommunications system may result.

Transporting the notebook

●Remove all data carriers (e.g. CD) from the drives.

●Switch the notebook off with the Suspend/Resume button (see "Working with the notebook" chapter, "Switching off the notebook" section).

●Unplug the power adapter and all external devices from the mains outlet.

●Disconnect the power adapter cable and the data cables for all external devices.

●Close the connector covers.

●Close the LCD screen so that it locks into place.

●If the device needs to be shipped, use the original packaging or other suitable packaging to protect it from damage caused by mishandling.

●To protect against damaging jolts and bumps, use a notebook carrying case to transport your notebook.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers offers a number of solutions for transporting your notebook. The current offering can be viewed on the Internet at http://www.e-shop2.de.

●Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight in a car).
