Travel Tips
Consider changing the settings of your power management options to maximize battery
life if you will be using battery power for extended periods.
●
If you are traveling internationally, carry proof of ownership to speed your passage
through customs. If the computer is provided by your employer, carry documentation of
your right to use the computer. Investigate the customs regulations of the countries you
plan to visit, and consider acquiring an international carnet from your government if you
travel through many different countries.
●
Power interruptions can occur frequently in some countries. Always have a charged
battery available if traveling abroad.
●
Credit card holders should check with their credit card companies for information about
the kinds of emergency travel assistance they offer to users of portable computers. Many
companies provide services that help you solve problems, such as quickly locating
3.5-inch diskettes or providing a direct-dial telephone line for your modem connection.
●
NOTICE: Do not use a device in the external media bay while the computer is in motion.
Doing so could interrupt the flow of data between the device and the hard-disk drive.
Carnet
A carnet is an international customs document (also known as a merchandise passport) that
facilitates temporary imports into foreign countries and is valid for up to 1 year.
