Security

Get a locking cable for your notebook so you can attach a cable lock and
leave the notebook in your hotel room while you are away.
Always keep your notebook with you while waiting in airports, train
stations, or bus terminals. Be ready to claim your notebook as soon as it
passes through the x-ray machine in security checkpoints.
Write down your notebook model number and serial number (available
on the system label) in case of theft or loss, and keep the information
in a safe place. Also, tape your business card or an address label to your
notebook and accessories.
Whoever sits next to you or behind you can see your notebook display.
Avoid working with confidential files until you can be sure of privacy.

Use a password that you can remember, but that is difficult
for someone else to guess. The password feature is very
secure, with no easy way to recover a forgotten password.

to Gateway for service. Call Client Care for instructions.
