IMPORTANT: There are three types of airport security devices:
X-ray machines (the conveyor belt device you set your bags on),
magnetic detectors (the device you walk through), and security
magnetic wands (the hand-held device used by security
personnel). You can send your computer and diskettes through
airport X-ray machines. However, Compaq recommends that
you do not send your computer and diskettes through airport
magnetic detectors or expose them to security magnetic wands.
International Travel
■ Check local customs regulations.
■ Purchase a power cord from a Compaq authorized dealer or
reseller for the country where you will be using the computer.
These cords are designed to meet the voltage, frequency, and
plug configuration requirements of each country. Do not attempt
to power the computer with a converter kit that is intended for
use with appliances.
■ Be sure that you have the correct modem for the country you
will be visiting. Telephone line standards and protocols differ
from country to country.
Shipping
■ Follow the same steps to prepare the computer for shipping that
you do for traveling.
■ Pack the computer and external devices in their original packing
boxes or similar boxes with sufficient packing material to
protect them.
