inspect the ports for damage and contamination.
PC Card Connector If your computer is equipped with a PC Card
connector, make sure it is operating correctly by reading from or
writing to a PC Card.
Battery If moisture condenses on the battery and battery connec-
tors, remove it using a clean, dry cloth. The connectors may

Storing Your T5200 Computer
With a fully charged battery, you can store the computer for
approximately 30 days without losing data in DRAM. If you plan
to store the computer for more than 30 days, follow these guide-
lines.
To store the T5200 computer
1 Use a reliable backup process to store files or data.
2 Exit all applications and turn off the computer.
3 Remove the battery from the unit and store it in a dry place.
4 Once the battery is removed, the computer is no longer weather
sealed, so you need to protect the computers internal compo-
nents. Placing the computer inside a sealed, antistatic bag is
ideal for long-term storage.
