Preparing For Travel; What To Take - NEC Generation N3000 M760s User Manual

Preparing for Travel

Taking Care of Your Computer The notebook computer makes a natural travelling companion. With a little preparation you can use the
computer anywhere you go, to prepare your business documents, confirm your travel plans, surf the
Internet, or simply stay in touch with those back home!
Here is what you should do before you leave home:
Note:
Speed the trip through airport security by carrying a charged system. Inspectors want to see
the screen display a message. The boot message is usually sufficient.
If your system is fully charged, the inspection only takes a minute or so. Otherwise, be prepared to
attach the AC adapter and power cable. And if you don't have these, the inspection might include a
disassembly of the system.
•
Back up your notebook's hard disk.
•
Insert a fully charged battery to make sure your system is ready to quickly boot up at the airport
security check.
•
Fully charge all your batteries.
•
Tape your business card to your notebook, AC adapter, and batteries.
•
If you run your system with battery power, maximise battery life by using power-saving features
whenever possible.
•
Take along any application or data files on CD/DVD that you might need.
•
Check that you have everything you need before you leave on a trip.
