Travel Tips
Here are some tips on preparing your computer for
traveling:
1. Make diskette or tape backup copies of
important files on the hard disk.
2. Close the display, making sure the cover latch
is secure.
3. Disconnect the AC adapter and all peripherals.
4. Place the notebook, AC adapter, extra battery
pack and other accessories you might need
(such as modules and documentation) in a
carrying bag.
5. Hand-carry your notebook. Do not check it in
as luggage!
Caution: The notebook can pass through
airport X-ray equipment, but metal detectors
can damage the notebook’s hard disk.
6. Check with your airline if you plan to use your
computer onboard the aircraft.
7. Check that the voltage and power specifications
of the country you are traveling in are
compatible with the computer’s AC adapter. If
necessary, purchase a power cord that is
compatible with the local AC voltage. Do not
use converter kits sold for appliances to power
the notebook.
