Transportation Precautions

To prepare the UMPC for transport, you should turn it OFF and disconnect all

external peripherals to prevent damage to the connectors. The hard disk drive’s

head retracts when the power is turned OFF to prevent scratching of the hard disk

surface during transport. Therefore, you should not transport the UMPC while the

power is still ON.

Cover Your UMPC

You can purchase an optional carrying case to protect it from dirt, water, shock, and

scratches.

CAUTION: The UMPC’s surface is easily dulled if not properly cared for. Be careful not

to rub or scrape the UMPC surfaces when transporting your UMPC.

Charge Your Batteries

If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and any

optional battery packs before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter

charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and an AC power

source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack when the UMPC

is in use.

Airplane Precautions

Contact your airline if you want to use the UMPC on the airplane. Most airlines will

have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines will allow electronic use only

between and not during takeoffs and landings.

CAUTION: There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines

(used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking

through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people

or individual items). You can send your UMPC and diskettes through airport X-ray

machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your UMPC or diskettes

through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.
