Computer Tracking Software

Computer tracking software may enable you to locate your computer if it is lost or stolen. The software is

optional and may be purchased when you order your Dell™ computer, or you can contact your Dell sales

representative for information about this security feature.

NOTE:

Computer tracking software may not be available in certain countries.

NOTE:

If you have computer tracking software and your computer is lost or stolen, you must contact the company

that provides the tracking service to report the missing computer.

If Your Computer Is Lost or Stolen

• Call a law enforcement agency to report the lost or stolen computer. Include the Service Tag in your

description of the computer. Ask that a case number be assigned and write down the number, along

with the name, address, and phone number of the law enforcement agency. If possible, obtain the

name of the investigating officer.

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 company.
