48 - Traveling with your computer
• Pack the computer in a protective case that can prevent the
computer from sliding around and cushion it if it should fall.
Warning
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
Unless you have some items at home, take the following items
with you:
• AC adapter and power cord.
• The printed Setup Guide.
Special considerations
Follow these guidelines to protect your computer while traveling
to and from work:
• Minimize the effects of temperature changes by keeping the
computer with you.
• If you need to stop for an extended period of time and cannot
carry the computer with you, leave the computer in the trunk of
the car to avoid exposing the computer to excessive heat.
• Changes in temperature and humidity can cause condensation.
Allow the computer to return to room temperature, and inspect
the screen for condensation before turning on the computer. If
the temperature change is greater than 10° C (18° F), allow the
computer to come to room temperature slowly. If possible,
leave the computer for 30 minutes in an environment with a
temperature between outside and room temperature.
Setting up a home office
If you frequently work on your computer at home, you may want
to purchase a second AC adapter for use at home. With a second
AC adapter, you can avoid carrying the extra weight to and from
home.
