Caring for the Computer 7-5
When Traveling
l Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard
disk data into optical discs or other storage devices. As an added
precaution, bring along an extra copy of your important data.
l Make sure the battery pack is fully charged.
l Make sure the computer is turned off.
l Do not leave objects that will press onto the display.
l Disconnect the AC adapter from the computer and take it with you.
Use the AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger.
l Hand-carry the computer. Do not check it in as luggage.
l Allow extra time for airport security. Many airports inspect
electronic devices carefully.
l If you need to leave the computer in the car, put it in the trunk of the
car to avoid exposing the computer to excessive heat.
l When going through airport security, it is recommended that you
send the computer and USB disks through the X-ray machine (the
device you set your bags on). Avoid the magnetic detector (the device
you walk through) or the magnetic wand (the hand-held device used
by security personnel).
l If you plan to travel abroad with your computer, consult your dealer
for the appropriate AC power cord for use in your country of
destination.
