Files
■ Copy your working files from your desktop computer to your convertible
tablet PC before you travel.
■ If you need to access your desktop computer files from your convertible
tablet PC while traveling, set up your desktop computer for remote access.
Contact your network administrator for more information about remote
access.
■ Take extra recordable media for transferring files between computers and
backing up files.
Security
■ Get a locking cable for your convertible tablet PC so you can attach a cable
lock and leave your convertible tablet PC in your hotel room while you
are away.
■ Always keep your convertible tablet PC with you while waiting in airports,
train stations, or bus terminals. Be ready to claim your convertible
tablet PC as soon as it passes through the x-ray machine in security
checkpoints.
■ Write down your convertible tablet PC model number and serial number
(see “Identifying your model” on page 10) 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 convertible tablet PC and accessories.
■ Whoever sits next to you or behind you can see your convertible tablet PC
display. Avoid working with confidential files until you can be sure of
privacy.
■ Use a startup password to restrict access to your convertible tablet PC.
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
convertible tablet PC to Gateway for service. Call Gateway
Technical Support for instructions.
