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.
