Files
■ Copy your working files from your desktop computer to your notebook
before you travel.
■ If you need to access your desktop computer files from your notebook
while traveling, set up the desktop computer for remote access.
■ Take extra diskettes for transferring files between computers and backing
up files.
Security
■ Get a locking cable for your notebook so you can attach a cable lock and
leave the notebook in your hotel room while you are away.
■ Always keep your notebook with you while waiting in airports, train
stations, or bus terminals. Be ready to claim your notebook as soon as it
passes through the x-ray machine in security checkpoints.
■ Write down your notebook model number and serial number (available
on the system label) in case of theft or loss, and keep the information
in a safe place. Also, tape your business card or an address label to your
notebook and accessories.
■ Whoever sits next to you or behind you can see your notebook display.
Avoid working with confidential files until you can be sure of privacy.
■ Use a startup password to restrict access to your notebook.
Important Use a password that you can remember, but that is difficult
for someone else to guess. The password feature is very
secure, with no easy way to recover a forgotten password.
If you forget your password, you must return your notebook
to Gateway for service. Call Gateway Technical Support for
instructions.
