Traveling with your LifeBook notebook

■Do not transport your notebook while it is turned on.

■It is recommended that you carry your notebook with you while traveling, rather than checking it in as bag- gage.

Caring for your Batteries

■Always handle batteries carefully.

■Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may

mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.

■Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin- erate the battery.

■Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.

■Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.

■Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.

■Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.

■If your notebook is running on battery power all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight to recharge the battery.

■Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.

■Set the power management for maximum battery life.

■Put your notebook in Standby mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it.
