Traveling internationally with the computer

“when you are moving from country to country”

Preparing the computer

Prepare the computer as you would normally prepare it for traveling.

What to bring with you

Bring the following items with you:

•AC adapter

•Power cords that are appropriate for the country to which you are traveling

•Spare, fully-charged battery packs

•Additional printer driver files if you plan to use another printer

•Proof of purchase, in case you need to show it to customs officials

•International Traveler’s Warranty passport

Special considerations

Follow the same special considerations as when traveling with the computer. In addition, these tips are useful when traveling internationally:

•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 AC voltage. Do not use converter kits sold for appliances to power the computer.

•If you are using the modem, check if the modem and connector is compatible with the telecommunications system of the country you are traveling in.
