7.1 Traveling Preparations
Follow these steps to prepare the notebook for travel:
1. Make diskette copies of important files on the hard disk.
2. Turn off the notebook and all peripherals.
3. Make sure the display lid is properly closed. The display lid latch must
be secure.
4. Disconnect the AC adapter and all peripherals.
5. Place the notebook, AC adapter, external floppy drive, extra battery
pack and user documentation in a carrying bag.
6. Hand-carry the notebook. Do not check it in as luggage!
The notebook can pass through airport X-ray equipment, but
metal detectors may damage the notebook (i.e., hard disk
drive).
7. Check with your airline if you plan to use the notebook on the aircraft.
8. 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 notebook.
9. Check also if the PC card modem and connector used with your
notebook is compatible with the telecom system of the country you are
traveling in.
