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.

Always bring your System Recovery CD that came with your notebook when you travel. If you experience sys- tem software problems while traveling, you may need it to correct any problems.

Never put your notebook through a metal detector. Have your notebook hand-inspected by security per- sonnel. You can however, put your notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems, place your notebook close to the entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as possible or have your notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Secu- rity officials may require you to turn your notebook On. Make sure you have a charged battery on hand.

Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling over- seas. Check the following diagram to determine which plug adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.

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 a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.

Increasing Battery Life

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.

Limit your media drive access.

Disable the Media Player auto insert notification function.

Always use fully charged batteries.

Eject PC Cards and ExpressCards when not in use.
