Traveling with your computer - 47

Preparing the computer

Prepare the computer as you would normally prepare it for traveling.

What to bring with you

Bring the following items with you:
• AC adapter.
• Power cords that are appropriate for your destination(s).
• Additional printer driver files if you plan to use another printer.
• Proof of purchase, in case you need to show it to customs officials.
• International Travelers Warranty passport.

Special considerations

Follow the same special considerations as when traveling with the
computer. 
In addition, these tips are useful when traveling internationally:
• When traveling in another country, check that the local AC voltage

and the AC adapter power cord specifications are compatible. If not,
purchase a power cord that is compatible with the local AC voltage.
Do not use converter kits sold for appliances to power the computer.

• If you are using the modem, check if the modem and connector are

compatible with the telecommunications system of the country you
are traveling in.
