Use a memory stick (F:) for your files.
Switch the wireless off.
Turn the laptop off.

Return the laptop directly to Rose or Martha.
If neither Rose nor Martha is here, place it in Martha's office and plug it in as below.
Rose/Martha will verify that:
- the case, power cord and headset have been returned;
- the wireless button is off (right side of laptop).
Connect the blue Ethernet cable to the laptop (at the back, left side).
Attach the power cord to the laptop (at the back, left side) and plug it into the wall.
Open and turn the laptop on (upper, left side).
Ensure the "control, alt-delete" screen is visible.
Close it, but leave it powered on.

Ensure the laptop is returned promptly so that the battery can be recharged for the next use.
The battery life is approximately two hours.
Anything saved on the desktop will be removed when restarted (as with the other laptops in the Systems lending pool).
