Tips for New Owners
zTake responsibility for backup
Back up files often. Users who need to manage large amounts of data may wish to use backup
devices
zCreate a set of recovery CDs or DVDs to recover your hard disk in case it becomes corrupted.
To do this, use the Recovery CD Wizard by selecting Start, Programs, Mobile Computer Tools.
zDon't leave passwords anywhere on your notebook or carrying case
zBe careful when placing your notebook on an airport security conveyor belt
In most airports, security conveyor belts are safe for computers. If you are not sure, ask the
security staff. You should keep a close eye on your computer
zTape your business card to the notebook and accessories
In the workplace, notebooks and accessories may often look exactly alike, leading to equipment
mix-ups. Prevent such mix-ups by placing your name on your equipment
zInstall antivirus software
zConsider using a lock
For added security, consider purchasing a computer lock to put into the Security Slot on the back
edge of your computer near the battery. Use the lock to secure the computer to a desk or table
zDevelop ergonomic work habits
The science of ergonomics studies the relationship between health and a suitable work
environment. For more information on ergonomics, contact your nearest computer
bookstore, or local library. The Internet also has information on this and other related
subjects
NOTE Using a computer for extended periods of time with a poor workstation setup and
incorrect work habits can cause health problems
Turning Off the Computer
