Best Practices
Handle with Care
Use 2 hands when carrying the laptops. Carry with the lid closed. Report issues right away.
Use the Same Laptop
Have student try using the same laptop each day. It will log in faster and perform better overall.
Log Out
Log out of the computer when you are finished. It will keep others out from accessing your files or saving as you accidentally.
Close the Lid
Closing the lid when the laptop is not in use will save battery life over the course of the day.
Having Trouble
Is the WiFi On?
Check the light on the side on the laptop. Is the wifi indicator on? 
If no, press the Fn Key and the Print Screen Key at the same time to turn on.
Restart
Many times, issues can be resolved with a restart of the laptop.
Place a Tech Ticket
If the laptop does not work, place a tech ticket by click on the helpdesk icon on the desktop or to http://helpdesk.lcisd.org. 
Make note of the service tag number and where the laptop will be located.
Management
Shut Them Down
Laptops should be shut down every night to ensure updates are being processed and that they have a fresh start each day. 
Do not close the lid until after it has completely shut down. Closing it early interrupts the shut down process. Check for a full shut down by looking at the power indicator light on the side of the laptop.
Charge Them Up
Return the laptops to the cart to charge overnight. Double-check that your laptops are charging. The battery indicator on the side of the laptop should be lit.
If the light is not steadily on or blinking, your laptop is not charging. Check that you have pushed the laptop all the way into the charging tray.
