Dell Latitude C540 - Manual (Page 49)

NOTE: If you know where the computer was lost or stolen, call a law enforcement agency in that
area. If you do not know, call a law enforcement agency where you live.
If the computer belongs to a company, notify the security office of the firm.
Contact Dell customer support to report the missing computer. Provide the computer service tag
sequence, the case number, and the name, address, and telephone number of the law enforcement
agency to which you reported the missing computer. If possible, give the name of the investigating
officer.
The Dell support technician will log your report under the computer service tag sequence and flag the
computer as missing or stolen. If someone calls Dell for technical assistance and gives your service tag
sequence, the computer is identified automatically as missing or stolen. The technician will attempt to get
the phone number and address of the caller. Dell will then contact the law enforcement agency to which you
made the report of the missing or stolen computer.
