Important notes

Storing the battery

If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never
i
store the batteries in the unit.
Store the battery in a fully charged state. The battery should be stored in a dry area at a
temperature between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored,
the lower is the rate of self-discharge.
If storing for a long period of time (longer than two months) batteries should be fully charged before
storage.
To be able to use the optimum battery charging capacity, you should work in the battery mode until
the battery is completely discharged, and then recharge the battery.

Transporting the notebook

Please observe the points listed below when transporting your notebook.

Before you travel

•
Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
•
Switch off the radio component (Wireless LAN/ BLUETOOTH) for security reasons when youn
cannot exclude that the transmitted radio waves can negatively affect electrical and electronic
devices in your surrounding area.
•
If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight attendants if it is
permissible to do so.
•
If you are travelling abroad, ensure that the power adapter can be operated with the local
mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate power adapter for your notebook.
Do not use any other voltage converter!
If you travel in another country, check whether the local power supply and the
i
specifications of the power cable are compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable
that matches the local conditions. Do not use a connection adapter for electrical devices
to connect the notebook.
If you use a modem, incompatibilities with the local telecommunications system may
result.
