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.
Radio frequency wireless
connections
■
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. If
your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between
countries with your system, 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 system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device,
see “Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information” on page 277
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. Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11B (also
known as wireless Ethernet or WiFi) communication devices are examples
of devices which use wireless to communicate.
