Travel Tips

Although notebooks are designed to be as robust as possible to cater for a mobile lifestyle, extreme care and caution should be taken when travelling. When travelling by land, sea or air, every precaution should be taken to make sure that the notebook is well secured when it is not in use.

The most essential accessory you should have when travelling is a good carry case for your notebook. The case should be well padded to protect your notebook from drops and bumps, etc and should be big enough to hold the size of notebook.

Make sure there is enough room to carry your AC Adapter and spare battery etc. Only carry the necessary items in your carry case, as the weight can become tedious especially when walking long distances or waiting in long queue’s.

When travelling by air, never book your notebook with checked baggage. Always declare it as hand baggage so that you can carry it into the airplane cabin with you. Most airlines allow two pieces of hand baggage with one of them being a bag or carry case with a portable notebook. Please consult your local airline for more details.

When placing your notebook on an X-Ray, make sure that you keep a close eye on it when it is on the conveyor belt. Hold on to your notebook until the last minute before placing it on the conveyor. In some airports it could be stolen while you are stuck in a queue

waiting to pass through the metal detector.

Notebooks and hard drives can pass through X-Ray machines but never allow these to pass through a metal detector. This can cause data loss to the hard drive.

Never place your notebook in the overhead storage compartment as this can make it susceptible to damage caused by turbulence that may be experienced during the flight or in other case theft. You can store your notebook under your seat, where it is always in sight.

You should take every precaution to protect your notebook from dust, dirt, liquid spillage, food droppings, extreme weather conditions and direct exposure to sunlight.

When travelling between different climates, from one extreme to another, condensation may occur inside the notebook. If this does happen, please allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate completely, before attempting to switch on.

When travelling from extremely colder to extremely warmer climates in a short space of time, and vice versa, please allow the notebook some time to adapt to the change in environment.

Usage Tips

When unplugging the power connector from the notebook, please hold and pull on the connector or the strain relief loop to disconnect. Do not pull the power cord itself as this can cause damage to the cable or the notebook.

In the event of an electrical storm, please disconnect the notebook from the power source and unplug any network or telephone cables that may be connected to the notebook.
