Transportation Precautions
To prepare the Disney Netpal for transport, you should close the display
panel to protect the keyboard and display panel.
For the model that comes with a hard disk drive, you should turn it
OFF and disconnect all external peripherals to prevent damage
to the connectors when you prepare for transport. The hard disk
drive's head retracts when the power is turned OFF to prevent
scratching of the hard disk surface during transport. Never transport
it while the power is still ON.
The Disney Netpal's surface is easily dulled if not properly cared for. Be
careful not to rub or scrape surfaces when transporting your Disney
Netpal. You can put your Disney Netpal in a carrying case for protection
from dirt, water, shock, and scratches.
Charging Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery
pack before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter
charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and an
AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery
pack when the Disney Netpal is in use.
Remember to fully charge the battery (8 hours or more) before first use
and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life. The battery reaches its
maximmum capacity after a few full charging and discharging cycles.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Disney Netpal on the airplane.
Most airlines have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines
allow electronic use only between and not during takeoffs and landings.
There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray
machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic
detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and
magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or individual
items). You can send your Disney Netpal and diskettes through
airport X-ray machines. However, it is recommended that you do
not send your Disney Netpal or diskettes through airport magnetic
detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.
