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.
■ Turn off wireless RF devices such as your wireless Ethernet emitter while
the aircraft is moving. For more information, see “Turning your wireless
Ethernet emitter on or off” on page 218.
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.
