Traveling with the Computer
■
Take along a backup of your work. Do not pack the backup
with the computer.
■
Hand carry the computer. Do not check it with your luggage.
■
Do not expose the computer or diskettes to a magnetic
security detector.
❏
The security device that examines carry-on items placed
on a conveyer belt uses X-rays and is safe for the
computer and diskettes.
❏
The walk-through security device and the handheld
security wands are magnetic and may damage the
computer or diskettes.

If you plan to use the computer during a flight, check in
advance with the airline: in-flight computer use is at the
discretion of the airline.
