Transportation Precautions
To prepare your Eee PC 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 your Eee PC
while the power is still ON. Close the display panel to protect the
keyboard and display panel.
The Eee PC’s surface is easily dulled if not properly cared for. Be
careful not to rub or scrape surfaces when transporting your Eee
PC. You can put your Eee PC in a carrying case for protection from
dirt, water, shock, and scratches.
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 Eee PC and diskettes
through airport X-ray machines. However, it is recommended
that you do not send your Eee PC or diskettes through airport
magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Eee PC on the airplane.
Most airlines have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most
airlines allow electronic use only between and not during takeoffs
and landings.
Charging Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your
battery pack 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 Eee PC is in use.
Remember to fully charge the battery (8 hours or more) before first
use and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life. The battery
reaches its maximmum capacity after a few full charging and
discharging cycles.
