A Traveling with the tablet
For best results, follow these traveling and shipping tips:
●
Prepare the tablet for traveling or shipping:
◦
Back up your information.
◦ Remove all external media cards, such as digital cards.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the tablet, damage to a drive, or loss of
information, remove the media from a drive before shipping, storing, or traveling with a
drive.
◦
Turn off and then disconnect all external devices.
◦
Shut down the tablet.
●
Take along a backup of your information. Keep the backup separate from the tablet.
●
When traveling by air, carry the tablet as hand luggage; do not check it in with the rest of your
bags.
CAUTION: Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields
include airport walk-through devices and security wands. Airport conveyer belts and similar
security devices that check carry-on baggage use X-rays instead of magnetism and do not
damage drives.
●
In-flight tablet use is at the discretion of the airline. If you plan to use the tablet during a flight,
check with the airline in advance.
●
If you are shipping the tablet, use suitable protective packaging and label the package
“FRAGILE.”
●
If the tablet has a wireless device installed, such as an 802.11b/g device, a Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM) device, or a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) device, the
use of these devices may be restricted in some environments. Such restrictions may apply
onboard aircraft, in hospitals, near explosives, and in hazardous locations. If you are uncertain of
the policy that applies to the use of a particular device, ask for authorization to use it before you
turn it on.
●
If you are traveling internationally, follow these suggestions:
◦
Check the computer-related customs regulations for each country or region on your
itinerary.
◦ Check the power cord and adapter requirements for each location in which you plan to use
the tablet. Voltage, frequency, and plug configurations vary.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not
attempt to power the tablet with a voltage converter kit sold for appliances.
