Laptop User Guidelines


It is the employees responsibility to keep their assigned laptop secure and protected at all times. Due care should be taken in the handling, transporting and usage of the laptop. Improper use or not being aware of safety issues can cause the laptop irreparable damage. The following suggestions include: Use protected storage bags or carrying cases specifically designed for laptops. Lock laptops in cabinets or desks where possible. Secure the laptop if you are temporarily leaving it unattended. Avoid creating a trip hazard when plugging in the laptop for power. Use car trunks, or other means to keep laptops out of plain view; keep car doors locked. Be aware that extreme (hot or cold) temperatures in an enclosed vehicle will harm the laptop. Keep drinks, food, lotions and other harmful materials away from the laptop. Make sure that before you put your laptop into its carrying bag, it is shut down. Inspect and clean the air vents in your laptop as part of your weekly routine.

Operate your laptop on a hard surface, preferably one that allows ventilation.
