Packing your convertible
notebook
•
Remove all peripheral devices and cables. Remember to
pack those you will need while traveling.
•
Pack your convertible notebook securely into a
briefcase or hand-carried luggage, and keep it separate
from toiletries, liquids, and food. Do not pack it in
checked luggage.
•
Keep your convertible notebook stable during travel.
Secure it to prevent it from sliding around in overhead
bins and car trunks.
Traveling by air
•
Do not check your convertible notebook as luggage.
•
Charge the batteries in case airport security asks you
to start your convertible notebook.
•
Have your convertible notebook hand-inspected or sent
through the X-ray scanner, but never carry it through
the metal detector.
•
Turn off you convertible notebook for takeoff and
landing.
•
Turn off all wireless devices while in the aircraft.
Dial-up modem
•
Take a telephone cord to connect the modem to
telephone jacks. If you are traveling internationally, take
telephone jack adapters or an acoustic handset coupler.
•
Take a telephone line protector.
•
Take a telephone line tester to check for unsafe lines,
especially if you are traveling internationally.
•
Take remote access information with you so you can
connect to your ISP while outside of your usual calling
area. A list of country dialing codes may be especially
useful if you are traveling internationally.
