Travel Considerations
Packing
As you get ready for your trip, run through this list to make sure the system is ready to go:
1. Check that the battery pack and any spares are fully charged.
2. Power off the computer and peripherals.
3. Close the display panel and make sure it’s latched.
4. Disconnect the AC/DC adapter and cables. Stow them in the carrying bag.
5. The AC/DC adapter uses voltages from 100 to 240 volts so you won’t need a second voltage adapter. However,
check with your travel agent to see if you need any socket adapters.
6. Put the notebook in its carrying bag and secure it with the bag’s straps.
7. If you’re taking any peripherals (e.g. a printer, mouse or digital camera), pack them and those devices’ adapters
and/or cables.
8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions or require proof of ownership for both hard-
ware and software. Make sure your documents are prepared.

Power Off Before Traveling
Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a
notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the vent(s)/fan intake(s)/outlet(s) to be blocked. To prevent your
computer from overheating make sure nothing blocks the vent(s)/fan intake(s)/outlet(s) while the computer is in use.
