Files

Copy your working files from your desktop computer to your notebook
before you travel.
If you need to access your desktop computer files from your notebook
while traveling, set up the desktop computer for remote access. Contact
your network administrator for more information about remote access.
Take extra diskettes for transferring files between computers and backing
up files.

Security

Get a locking cable for your notebook so that you can attach a cable lock
and leave your notebook in your hotel room while you are away.
Always keep your notebook with you while waiting in airports, train
stations, or bus terminals. Be ready to claim your notebook as soon as it
passes through the x-ray machine in security checkpoints.
Write down your notebook model number and serial number (see
"Identifying your model" on page 10) in case of theft or loss, and keep
the information in a safe place. Also, tape your business card or an address
label to your notebook and accessories.
Whoever sits next to you or behind you can see your notebook display.
Avoid working with confidential files until you can be sure of privacy.
Use a startup password to restrict access to your notebook.
Important Use a password that you can remember, but that is difficult
for someone else to guess. The password feature is very
secure, with no easy way to recover a forgotten password.
If you forget your password, you must return your notebook
to Gateway for service. Call Gateway Technical Support for
instructions.
