Important notes
Travelling with your notebook
Please follow these guidelines when travelling with your notebook.
Before you travel
●Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
●Turn off the wireless module before you travel. This will help keep your notebook secure, and also prevent it from affecting sensitive equipment in hospitals, airports and other areas.
●If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight attendants if it is OK to do so.
●If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains 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.
Your modem may not be fully compatible with the telephone system in the country you are visiting. This may result in poor performance, or the modem will not work at all.
Transporting the notebook
●Remove all disks (e.g. CD, DVD) from the drives.
●Switch the notebook off.
●Unplug the power adapter and all external devices from the power socket.
●Disconnect the power adapter cable and the data cables for all external devices.
●Close the LCD screen so that it locks into place.
●To protect against damaging jolts and bumps, use a notebook carrying case to transport your notebook.
●Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight in a car).
