Sleep mode for a period of time.

What to bring to meetings

If your meeting is relatively short, you probably do not need to bring anything with
you other than your computer. If your meeting will be longer, or if your battery is not
fully charged, you may want to bring the AC adapter with you to plug in your
computer in the meeting room.
If the meeting room does not have an electrical outlet, reduce the drain on the
battery by putting the computer in Sleep mode. Press <Fn> + <F4> or close the
display cover whenever you are not actively using the computer. To resume, open
the display (if closed), then press and release the power button.

Taking the computer home

Preparing the computer
After disconnecting the computer from your desktop, follow these steps to prepare
the computer for the trip home:
• Check that you have removed all media and compact discs from the drive(s).
Failure to remove the media can damage the drive head.
• Pack the computer in a protective case that can prevent the computer from
sliding around and cushion it if it should fall.
Caution: Avoid packing items next to the top cover of the computer.
Pressure against the top cover can damage the screen.

What to take with you

• AC adapter and power cord.
• The printed User's Manual.
