5.1 Traveling with the Notebook

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 LCD display is properly closed.
4. Disconnect the AC adapter and all peripherals.
5. Place the notebook, AC adapter and extra battery pack 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 system (i.e., hard disk drive).
7. Check with your airline if they allow the use of notebooks on the
aircraft.
