Taking the Computer Home
Chapter 4 Moving with your Computer 61
❑ If you need to stop for an extended period of time and
cannot bring the computer with you, leave the computer
in the trunk of the car to avoid exposing the computer to
excessive heat.
❑ Changes in temperature and humidity can cause
condensation. Allow the computer to return to room
temperature, and inspect the screen for condensation
before turning on the computer. If the temperature
change is greater than 18°F (10°C), allow the computer
to come to room temperature slowly. If possible, leave
the computer for 30 minutes in an environment with a
temperature between outside and room temperature.
Setting Up a Home Office
If you frequently work on your computer at home, it may be
worthwhile purchasing a second AC adapter for use at
home. With a second AC adapter, you can avoid
transporting the extra weight to and from home.
If you use your computer at home for significant periods of
time, you might also want to add an external keyboard,
monitor, or mouse.
