Preface
On the Road
In addition to the general safety and maintenance suggestions in this preface, and Chapter 8: Troubleshoot-
ing, keep these points in mind:
Hand-carry the notebook -
For security, don’t let it out of your sight. In some areas, computer theft is
very common. Don’t check it with “normal” luggage. Baggage handlers may not be sufficiently careful.
Avoid knocking the computer against hard objects.
Beware of Electromagnetic fields -
Devices such as metal detectors & X-ray machines can damage the
computer, hard disk, floppy disks, and other media. They may also destroy any stored data - Pass your
computer and disks around the devices. Ask security officials to hand-inspect them (you may be asked to
turn it on).
Note
: Some airports also scan luggage with these devices.
Fly safely -
Most airlines have regulations about the use of computers and other electronic devices in
flight. These restrictions are for your safety, follow them. If you stow the notebook in an overhead com-
partment, make sure it’s secure. Contents may shift and/or fall out when the compartment is opened.
Get power where you can -
If an electrical outlet is available, use the AC adapter and keep your bat-
tery(ies) charged.
Keep it dry -
If you move quickly from a cold to a warm location, water vapor can condense inside the
computer. Wait a few minutes before turning it on so that any moisture can evaporate.
