Special considerations

In addition to the guidelines for taking the computer home, follow these guidelines to protect your computer while traveling:

•Always take the computer as carry-on luggage.

•If possible, have the computer inspected by hand. Airport security X-ray machines are safe, but do not put the computer through a metal detector.

•Avoid exposing floppy disks to hand-held metal detectors.

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 Travelers 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.
