Shipping Guidelines
When shipping your Compaq Aero 2100 Series, follow these guidelines:
Safeguard your data by making a backup copy.
If shipping the backup copy, be sure that the medium (diskette, tape, or CompactFlash card) is not exposed to electrical or magnetic impulses while stored or in transit.
Be sure the CompactFlash card slot is empty.
Turn off the device and disconnect all external devices.
Pack the device and all external devices (such as the cradle, cords, and cables) in their original packing boxes or in similar packaging with sufficient packing material to protect them.
Remove the batteries (main battery and backup battery).
