Traveling with or shipping your computer

If you have to travel with or ship your computer, follow these tips to keep your equipment safe.

●Prepare the computer for traveling or shipping:

◦Back up your information to an external drive.

◦Remove all discs and all external media cards, such as memory cards.

◦Turn off and then disconnect all external devices.

◦Shut down the computer.

●Take along a backup of your information. Keep the backup separate from the computer.

●When traveling by air, carry the computer as hand luggage; do not check it in with the rest of your luggage.

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.

●If you plan to use the computer during a flight, listen for the in-flight announcement that tells you when you are allowed to use your computer. In-flight computer use is at the discretion of the airline.

●If you are shipping the computer or a drive, use suitable protective packaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”

●The use of wireless devices may be restricted in some environments. Such restrictions may apply aboard aircraft, in hospitals, near explosives, and in hazardous locations. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of a wireless device in your computer, ask for authorization to use your computer before you turn it on.
