Travel Precautions

Follow these steps to prepare the system for travel:

1.Back up important data onto floppy disks.

2.Turn off the power to the system and all peripherals.

3.Make sure that the display is properly closed. The latches on the side of the system must be secured.

4.Disconnect the AC adapter and all peripherals.

5.Hand carry the system. Do not check it as luggage.

6.Check with the airline if you plan to use the system in-flight.

7.When traveling in another country, check that the local AC voltage and the AC adapter power cord specifications are compatible. If not, purchase a power cord that is compatible with the local voltage. Do not use converter kits sold for appliances to power the system.
