Travel can present considerable risks of system shock or theft. Complete a full system backup before traveling.

Be familiar with your Setup settings, or print a copy of them, in case there is damage to those settings while you travel.

If you will be traveling to another country, check with your travel agent to determine whether or not you will need special adapters to use the electrical outlets and telephone connections.

If you do a lot of traveling, you might find it useful to purchase an acoustic coupler for your modem (which hooks to the handset instead of directly to a phone jack), to allow connection even where compatible phone jacks cannot be found. However, most public phones are now being upgraded to accept modem/fax connection from portable com- puters.

Hand your WinBook notebook to an airport attendant rather than setting it on the conveyor for security checks. This will help reduce the possibili- ty of theft. (Note: X-rays will not damage your system.)

Password protect your system (with at least one level of password) to help preserve your data.

Consider purchasing a lock for your WinBook notebook. The WinBook notebook comes with a slot for connecting a lock located on the left side of your system case.

Brand or physically mark your computer to make for easy identification.

If you will be using an Internet provider or other on-line service, call ahead to find out local access numbers for your destination(s).

In case your destination does not have outlets near convenient work spaces, you might want to pack a short extension cord.
