Chapter 7 - How to Maintain Your System
Your system is designed for years of rugged, portable use. You’ll get even
more service out of your Meridian by taking good care of your equipment.
Traveling with the System
Follow these steps to prepare the system for travel:
1. Back up important data onto floppy disks.
2. Turn off the power to the system and all peripherals.
3. Make sure that the display is properly closed. The latch on the
system must be secured.
4. Disconnect the AC adapter and all peripherals.
5. Make sure the PCMCIA eject buttons are flush with the edge of
the system unit.
6. Hand carry the system. Do not check it as luggage.
7. Check with the airline if you plan to use the system in-flight.
8. When traveling in another country, check that the local AC voltage
and the AC adapter power cord specifications are compatible. If
not, purchase a power cord that is compatible with the local
voltage. Do not use converter kits sold for appliances to power the
system.
