Travelling with Your Computer

Air Travel

If you are travelling by air, follow these tips:

•Take the computer with you as carry-on luggage. Do not check the computer with your baggage.

•Allow the computer and disks to go through the X-ray security devices. Do not hand-carry disks through the walk-through metal detectors, which can cause loss of data.

•Make sure that the battery is charged or the power cord is easily accessible. You may be required to turn on the computer for airport security personnel.

•Be prepared to turn off the computer during take off and landing.

As a precaution when you are travelling or using your computer in an unsecured area, you should keep your computer as safe as possible. An option to do this is the Security Lock System.
