IMPORTANT: There are three types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (the conveyor belt device you set your bags on), magnetic detectors (the device you walk through), and security magnetic wands (the hand-held device used by security personnel). You can send your computer and diskettes through airport X-ray machines. However, Compaq recommends that you do not send your computer and diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to security magnetic wands.

International Travel

Check local customs regulations.

Purchase a power cord from a Compaq authorized dealer or reseller for the country where you will be using the computer. These cords are designed to meet the voltage, frequency, and plug configuration requirements of each country. Do not attempt to power the computer with a converter kit that is intended for use with appliances.

Be sure that you have the correct modem for the country you will be visiting. Telephone line standards and protocols differ from country to country.

Shipping

Follow the same steps to prepare the computer for shipping that you do for traveling.

Pack the computer and external devices in their original packing boxes or similar boxes with sufficient packing material to protect them.
