● Do not expose the wood to sun or moisture for long periods of time. ● If the wood becomes wet, dry it by dabbing with an absorbent, lint-free cloth. ● Avoid contact with any substance that might dye or discolor the wood. ● Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces that might scratch the wood. See Removing dirt and debris from your computer on page 36 for the recommended steps to clean the hightouch, external surfaces on your computer. After you remove the dirt and debris, you can also clean the surfaces with a disinfectant. See Cleaning your computer with a disinfectant on page 37 for sanitizing guidelines to help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses. Traveling with or shipping your computer If you must travel with or ship your computer, follow these tips to keep your equipment safe. ● Prepare the computer for traveling or shipping: - Back up your information to an external drive. - Remove all discs and all external media cards, such as memory cards. - Turn off and then disconnect all external devices. - Shut down the computer. ● Take a backup of your information. Keep the backup separate from the computer. ● When traveling by air, carry the computer as hand luggage; do not check it with the rest of your luggage. IMPORTANT: Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields include airport walk-through devices and security wands. Airport conveyer belts and similar security devices that check carry-on baggage use X-rays instead of magnetism and do not damage drives. ● If you plan to use the computer during a flight, listen for the in-flight announcement that tells you when you can use your computer. In-flight computer use is at the discretion of the airline. ● If you are shipping the computer or a drive, use suitable protective packaging and label the package "FRAGILE." ● The use of wireless devices might be restricted in some environments. Such restrictions might apply aboard aircraft, in hospitals, near explosives, and in hazardous locations. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of a wireless device in your computer, ask for authorization to use your computer before you turn it on. ● If you are traveling internationally, follow these suggestions: - Check the computer-related customs regulations for each country or region on your itinerary. - Check the power cord and adapter requirements for each location in which you plan to use the computer. Voltage, frequency, and plug configurations vary. WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to run the computer from a voltage converter kit that is sold for appliances. 38 Chapter 7 Maintaining your computer
