Protect the Notebook from Power Surges
To protect the notebook from the power surges that might be
caused by an uncertain power supply or an electrical storm:
■
Plug the notebook power cord into an optional, high-quality
surge protector. Surge protectors are available from most
computer or electronics retailers.
■
Provide surge protection on the cable that connects the
modem to a telephone line.
■
During an electrical storm, either run the notebook on battery
power or shut down the notebook and unplug the power cord.
