Chapter 4 Moving with your Computer 59

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 2-3 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 3 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
standby mode. Press Fn-F3 or close the display cover
whenever you are not actively using the computer. Then
tap any key or open the display to resume.
