When Using Your Media Base - Dell Latitude X200 User Manual

When Using Your Media Base

Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to prevent damage to your
media base:
• When setting up the media base for work, place it on a level surface.
• When traveling, do not check the media base as baggage. You can put
your media base through an X-ray security machine, but never put your
media base through a metal detector.
• When traveling, do not place the media base in overhead storage
compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your media
base or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
• Protect your media base from environmental hazards such as dirt,
dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to
sunlight.
• When you move your media base between environments with very
different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form
on or within the media base. To avoid damaging the media base, allow
sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the media
base.
NOTICE: When taking the media base from low-temperature conditions into
a warmer environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler
environment, allow the media base to acclimate to room temperature before
turning on power.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-
relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep
it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you
connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and
aligned.
• If your media base gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures
described in "Solving Problems" in your computer User's Guide. If,
after following these procedures, you confirm that your media base is
not operating properly, contact Dell (see "Getting Help" in your
computer User's Guide for the appropriate contact information).
