Handling your Macintosh PowerBook
The safety instructions earlier in this appendix also apply when you are traveling. In addition, note these precautions:
mDo not transport your Macintosh PowerBook while it is turned on. Put your computer to sleep or shut it down before you move it.
mTransport batteries either inside the computer or with the protective case covering the battery contacts. Do not transport unprotected batteries.
mDo not check your computer as baggage. Carry it with you.
mTake the necessary plug adapters if you’re traveling overseas. (You may need to use them with the power cord.) You do not need a voltage transformer. The power adapter can handle 90 volts to 260 volts AC (48 Hz to 62 Hz).
Check the diagrams below to determine which plug adapters you’ll need, or ask your travel agent.
