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
maximum capacity after a few full charging and discharging cycles.
Sound Pressure warning
Excessive sound pressure from earphones or headphones can cause hearing
damage or loss. Adjustment of the volume control as well as the equalizer
to settings other than the center position may increase the earphones or
headphones output voltage and the sound pressure level.
