8 Owner’s Manual
Air Travel
• Certain Federal Aviation Administration regulations and/or airline-
specific restrictions may apply to the operation of your Dell device
while you are on board an aircraft. For example, such
regulations/restrictions may prohibit the use of any personal electronic
device (PED) that has the capacity for intentional transmission of
radio frequency or other electromagnetic signals while on an aircraft.
• In order to best comply with all such restrictions, do not use your
GPS receiver while on board an aircraft.
When Using Your Device
Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to prevent damage to your
device:
• When traveling, do not place the device in overhead storage
compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your device or
subject it to other mechanical shocks.
• Protect your device, battery, and hard drive from environmental
hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and
overexposure to sunlight.
• When you move your device between environments with very different
temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or
within the device. To avoid damaging the device, allow sufficient time
for the moisture to evaporate before using the device.
NOTE: When taking the device from low-temperature conditions into a warmer
environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler environment,
allow the device to acclimate to room temperature before turning on power.
Protecting Against Electrostatic
Discharge
Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your device. To
prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you
touch any of your device’s electronic components, such as a memory
module. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.
