■ Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. If
your notebook is equipped with a wireless device, check with the local
radio approval authorities prior to your trip for any restrictions on the use
of a wireless device in the destination country.
■ If your notebook came equipped with an internal embedded wireless
device, see
“Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information” on page 281 for
general wireless regulatory guidelines.
■ Wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial
aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned
off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, and
IEEE 802.11g communication devices are examples of devices which use
wireless to communicate. For instructions on how to turn off your wireless
device, see
“Turning your wireless Ethernet emitter on or off” on page 196 .
Files
■ Copy your working files from your desktop computer to your notebook
before you travel.
■ If you need to access your desktop computer files from your notebook
while traveling, set up your desktop computer for remote access. Contact
your network administrator for more information about remote access.
■ Take extra recordable media for transferring files between computers and
backing up files.
Security
■ Get a locking cable for your notebook so you can attach a cable lock and
leave your notebook in your hotel room while you are away.
■ Always keep your notebook with you while waiting in airports, train
stations, or bus terminals. Be ready to claim your notebook as soon as it
passes through the x-ray machine in security checkpoints.
