The safety instructions in the first part of this book also apply when you are traveling. In addition, note these precautions:

mDo not transport your 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 in the protective case provided. Do not transport unprotected batteries.

mDo not check your computer as baggage. Carry it with you.

mHave security officials manually inspect your computer and disks if you do not want to pass them through X-ray machines.

mBe prepared to show security officials that your computer is working. Have a charged battery or a power adapter ready to use.

mSome airlines may restrict or prohibit the use of computers in flight. Check ahead to find out what restrictions, if any, apply.

mTake the necessary plug adapters if you’re traveling overseas. (You may need to use them with the power adapter.) You do not need a voltage transformer. The power adapter can handle 90 volts to 260 volts AC (48 Hz to 62 Hz).
