Tips for New Owners 
Take responsibility for backup 
Back up files often. Users who need to manage large amounts of data may wish to use backup 
devices such as a tape backup unit or a ZIP drive. If you use your notebook as a networked 
workstation with system backup, talk to the system administrator about backup procedures for your 
notebook.  
Don't leave passwords anywhere on your notebook or carrying case 
Be 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. When you are in a hurry, make sure that you 
walk away with the correct notebook computer!  
Tape 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.  
Develop 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.
