Tips for New Owners

Take responsibility for backup
Back up files often. Users who need to manage large amounts of data may wish to use backup
devices such as a tape backup unit or a ZIP drive. If you use your notebook as a networked
workstation with system backup, talk to the system administrator about backup procedures for your
notebook.
Don't leave passwords anywhere on your notebook or carrying case
Be careful when placing your notebook on an airport security conveyor belt
In most airports, security conveyor belts are safe for computers. If you are not sure, ask the security
staff. You should keep a close eye on your computer. When you are in a hurry, make sure that you
walk away with the correct notebook computer!
Tape your business card to the notebook and accessories
In the workplace, notebooks and accessories may often look exactly alike, leading to equipment mix-
ups. Prevent such mix-ups by placing your name on your equipment.
Develop ergonomic work habits
The science of ergonomics studies the relationship between health and a suitable work environment.
For more information on ergonomics, contact your nearest computer bookstore, or local library. The
Internet also has information on this and other related subjects.
