Packing your notebook
■ Remove all peripheral devices and cables. Remember to pack those you will
need while traveling.
■ Pack your notebook securely into a briefcase or hand-carried luggage, and
keep it separate from toiletries, liquids, and food. Do not pack it in checked
luggage.
■ Keep your notebook stable during travel. Secure it to prevent it from sliding
around in overhead bins and car trunks.
Traveling by air
■ Prepare for airport security by charging the battery in case Security asks
you to start your notebook.
■ Have your notebook hand-inspected or sent through the X-ray scanner,
but never carry it through the metal detector.
■ Turn off your notebook for takeoff and landing.
■ Do not check your notebook as baggage.
Modem
■ Take a telephone cord to connect the modem to telephone jacks. If you
are traveling internationally, take telephone jack adapters or an acoustic
handset coupler.
■ Take a telephone line protector.
■ Take a telephone line tester to check for unsafe lines, especially if you are
traveling internationally.
■ Take remote access information with you so you can connect to your ISP
while outside of your usual calling area. A list of country dialing codes may
be especially useful if you are traveling internationally.
