Traveling Internationally with the Computer
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 to the country to which
you are traveling
❑Media bay modules
❑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

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 telecom system of the
country you are traveling in.
