How to use your personal
laptop in the library
Technology Support
Advice below:
- Please use supplied AC adapter and power
cord. Do not rely on battery power!
- Laptop
should be turned off and placed in its folded position
any time that it is to be moved
- Do not carry the laptop when it is ON
- Transporting the laptop in its carrying
case is advisable
- Traveling inside the library by elevator
is also advisable
- Do not touch the LCD screen
- Do not plug in or unplug an external device
such as a mouse unless the computer and the external device
are both turned off
- Do not expose the laptop to any magnetic
fields that could damage the contents of the hard disk
- You can access to the campus fileserver
[student H: drive], but you must first connect to the network
with the laptop's VPN Client. VPN Client software is loaded
on each laptop, and the logon prompt is located on
the Start Menu under Programs
- Neither the Fullerton College Library, nor
Academic Computing Technologies is responsible for files
remaining on the disk once the laptop is returned by the
user, or for any loss of or damage to a user's files as a
consequence of use of the laptop
- If you must use the battery:
- The battery when fully charged should last approximately
3 hours. However extensive use of software applications
drains the battery faster
- When you are using battery power, there is a small "battery" icon
on the task-bar in the lower right-hand side of the
Windows desktop. Holding the cursor over this icon
will result in a small label displaying the percentage
of power or the amount of time left on the battery.
A single click on this icon presents a pop-up menu
that allows you to toggle between a status display
of percentage or number of hours remaining
- The laptop will notify you via a pop-up dialog box
when the battery begins to run low. At that point,
you should save any work to a flashdrive or send it
as an attachment to your e-mail account and shut down
the laptop. Remember if the laptop is shut down, all
files saved to the desktop or harddrive will be deleted.
- If you wish to continue working after a low battery
warning, without shutting down, you should power the
laptop with the AC adapter and power cord to an student
carrel or desk outlet. When the laptop is plugged in,
the battery will begin recharging.
