Travel and Shipping

Do not expose the notebook or diskettes to a magnetic security detector.

The security device that examines carry-on items placed on a conveyor belt uses x-rays and is safe for the notebook and diskettes.

The walk-through security device and the handheld security wands are magnetic and may damage the notebook or diskettes.

If you plan to use the notebook during a flight, check with the airline in advance. In-flight notebook use is at the discretion of the airline.

If your notebook has a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) or GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) device, you must turn off the device before boarding and keep it turned off if you plan to use your notebook during the flight.

If you are traveling internationally:

Consult a service partner or Customer Care about power cord and adapter requirements for each location in which you plan to use the notebook. (Voltage, frequency, and plug configurations vary.) Refer to either your warranty documentation or the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet (English only) to contact Customer Care for help and support.

ÄTo reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to power the notebook with a voltage converter kit sold for appliances.

Check the computer-related customs regulations for each country on your itinerary.
