when you are moving within a larger distance, for instance, from
your office building to a client’s office building or traveling locally
Preparing the Computer
Prepare the computer as if you were taking it home. Be sure the
battery in the computer is charged. Airport security may require
you to turn on your computer when bringing it into the gate area.
What To Bring with You
Bring the following items with you:
❑
AC adapter
❑
Spare, fully-charged battery packs
❑
EasyLink™ Combo Drive
❑
Additional printer driver files if you plan to use another
printer
Special Considerations
In addition to the guidelines for taking the computer home,
follow these guidelines to protect your computer while traveling:
❑
Always take the computer as carry-on luggage.
❑
If possible, have the computer inspected by hand. Airport
security X-ray machines are safe, but do not put the
computer through a metal detector.
❑
Avoid exposing floppy disks to hand-held metal detectors.
