Travel Tips

Here are some tips on preparing your computer for traveling:

1.Make diskette or tape backup copies of important files on the hard disk.

2.Close the display, making sure the cover latch is secure.

3.Disconnect the AC adapter and all peripherals.

4.Place the notebook, AC adapter, extra battery pack and other accessories you might need (such as modules and documentation) in a carrying bag.

5.Hand-carry your notebook. Do not check it in as luggage!

Caution: The notebook can pass through airport X-ray equipment, but metal detectors can damage the notebook’s hard disk.

6.Check with your airline if you plan to use your computer onboard the aircraft.

7.Check that the voltage and power specifications of the country you are traveling in are compatible with the computer’s AC adapter. If necessary, purchase a power cord that is compatible with the local AC voltage. Do not use converter kits sold for appliances to power the notebook.
