• Every country has different restrictions on the use of
wireless devices. If your notebook is equipped with a
wireless device, check with the local radio approval
authorities prior to your trip for any restrictions on the
use of a wireless device in the destination country.
• Wireless communication can interfere with equipment
on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations
require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling
in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 communication devices are
examples of devices which use wireless to
communicate.

• Copy your working files from your desktop computer
to your notebook before you travel.
• If you need to access your desktop computer files from
your notebook while traveling, set up your desktop
computer for remote access. Contact your network
administrator for more information about remote
access.
• Take extra recordable media for transferring files
between computers and backing up files.
