Securing Your Computer; Using A Computer Security Lock - Acer Aspire V5-131 User Manual

Preparing the computer
Prepare the computer as you would normally prepare it for traveling.
What to take with you
Take the following items with you:
• AC adapter
Power cords that are appropriate for the country to which you
•
are traveling
• Spare, fully-charged battery packs
• Additional printer driver files if you plan to use another printer
• Proof of purchase, in case you need to show it to customs officials
• International Travelers Warranty passport
Special considerations
Follow the same special considerations as when traveling with the computer.
In addition, these tips are useful when traveling internationally:
• When traveling in another country, check that the local AC voltage and the AC
adapter power cord specifications are compatible. If not, purchase a power
cord that is compatible with the local AC voltage. Do not use converter kits sold
for appliances to power the computer.
• If you are using the modem, check if the modem and connector are compatible
with the telecommunications system of the country you are traveling in.

protect and take care of your computer.
Security features include hardware and software locks — a security notch

Using a computer security lock

The notebook comes with a Kensington-compatible security slot for a security lock.
Wrap a computer security lock cable around an immovable object such as a table or
handle of a locked drawer. Insert the lock into the notch and turn the key to secure
the lock. Some keyless models are also available.
