There are three main types of airport security devices:
X-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor
belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking
through security checks), and magnetic wands
(hand-held devices used on people or individual
items). You can send your Eee Pad through airport
X-ray machines. But do not send your Eee Pad
through airport magnetic detectors or expose it to
magnetic wands.
Charging Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge
your battery pack before going on long trips. Remember
that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as
it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be
aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack
when the Eee Pad is in use.
Remember to fully charge the battery (8 hours or more)
before first use and whenever it is depleted to prolong
battery life. The battery reaches its maximum capacity after
a few full charging and discharging cycles.
Airplane Precautions
Ask an airline personnel if you want to use your Eee Pad
onboard an aircraft. Most airlines have restrictions for using
electronic devices. Most airlines allow electronic use only
between and not during takeoffs and landings.
