• It is recommended that you carry your notebook with you while traveling, rather than checking it in as baggage. • Never put your notebook through a metal detector. Have your notebookhand-inspected by security personnel. You can however, put your notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems, place your notebook close to the entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as possible or have your notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Security officials may require you to turn your notebook on, so make sure you have a charged battery on hand. Batteries Caring for your Batteries • Always handle batteries carefully. • Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not carry loose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire. • Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate the battery. • Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas. • Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten the life of your battery. • Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.
