Transporting The Notebook - Medion Notebook Manual

Transporting the Notebook

Please use the following guidelines when transporting the notebook:
•
Switch off the notebook. This will prevent damage to the hard drive. When the
notebook is switched off, the hard drive components are moved into a safe area.
•
Wait until the notebook has reached ambient (room) temperature before connecting
it to the power supply. Drastic variations in temperature and humidity can create
condensation within the notebook and may cause it to short-circuit.
•
Close the notebook and ensure the cover locks shut.
•
Always use the notebook carrying case. This helps protect the notebook from dirt,
moisture, jolts and scratches.
•
Should you need to ship your notebook, 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 before a long journey.
•
Inquire about the electricity and communication provision at the destination location.
•
Obtain the necessary adapter for electricity or communication (modem, LAN, etc.), if
necessary, before starting your journey.
•
Put the battery into the packaging separately when dispatching the notebook.
•
We recommend sending the notebook and all magnetic storage media (floppy discs,
external drives) through the x-ray machine when you are passing baggage checks
at airports. Avoid all metal detectors, including handheld devices, since data can be
destroyed, among other potential consequences.
