Traveling with the computer
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
•
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. The computer
can safely pass through security X-ray machines, but never expose
the computer to a metal detector.
•
Avoid exposing floppy disks to hand-held metal detectors.
