Transporting The Netbook - Medion AKOYA E1228 Manual

Transporting the Netbook

Please use the following guidelines when transporting the netbook:

Switch off the netbook. This will prevent damage to the hard disk. When the
netbook is turned off, the hard disk heads are moved into a safe area.

Wait until the netbook has reached ambient (room) temperature before connecting
it to the power supply. Drastic variations in temperature and humidity can create
condensation within the netbook and may cause it to short-circuit.

Close the netbook and ensure that the cover locks shut.

Always use the netbook carrying case. This helps to protect the netbook from dirt,
moisture, jolts and scratches.

Should you need to ship your netbook, always use the original packaging and
make certain the shipper knows the contents contain fragile electronic equipment.

Fully charge your battery and any spare batteries immediately before a long
journey.

Enquire about the electricity and communication provision at the location before a
journey.

Acquire the necessary adapter for electricity or communication (modem, LAN, etc.),
if necessary, before starting your journey.

Put the battery into the packaging separately when despatching the netbook.

It is recommended to send the netbook and all magnetic storage media (floppy
disks, external drives) through the x-ray device (the device into which you put your
bags), when you are passing through the baggage check at airports. Avoid the
magnetic detector (the construction, through which you walk) or the magnetic rod
(the manual device of the security personnel), because they could destroy your
data, among other consequences.
