• 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.
Traveling internationally with the computer
When you are moving from country to country.
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 the country to which you are
traveling.
• Spare, fully-charged battery packs.
• 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.
