4 Moving with your computer54
Moving around
when you are just moving within short distances, for example, from
your office desk to a meeting room
Preparing the computer
Before moving the computer, close and latch the display cover to place
it in Standby mode. You can now safely take the computer anywhere
you go within the building.
To bring the computer out of Standby mode, open the display.
What to bring to short meetings
A fully charged battery runs the computer for 2 1/2 hours under most
circumstances. If your meeting is shorter than that, you probably do
not need to bring anything with you other than the computer.
What to bring to long meetings
If your meeting will last longer than 2 1/2 hours or if your battery is not
fully charged, you may want to bring the AC adapter with you to plug
in your computer in the meeting room.
If the meeting room does not have an electrical outlet, reduce the
drain on the battery by putting the computer in power-saving mode.
Close the display cover whenever you are not actively using the
computer. Open the display to resume.
