Traveling With Your Computer
NOTICE:
If the computer has been exposed to extreme temperatures, allow it to
acclimate to room temperature for 1 hour before turning it on.
• Protect the computer, the batteries, and the hard drive from hazards such
as extreme temperatures and overexposure to sunlight, dirt, dust, or liquids.
• Pack the computer so that it does not slide around in the trunk of your car
or in an overhead storage compartment.
Travel Tips
NOTICE:
Do not move the computer while using the optical drive to prevent loss
of data.
NOTICE:
Do not check the computer as baggage.
• Consider disabling wireless activity on your computer to maximize battery
operating time. To disable wireless activity, use the wireless switch (see
"Dell Wi-Fi Catcher™ Network Locator " on page 85).

operating time (see "Configuring Power Management Settings" on page 48).
• If you are traveling internationally, carry proof of ownership—or of your
right to use the computer if it is company-owned—to speed your passage
through customs. Investigate the customs regulations of the countries you
plan to visit, and consider acquiring an international carnet (also known as
a
merchandise passport ) from your government.
• Find out what type of electrical outlets are used in the countries you will
visit, and have appropriate power adapters.
• Check with your credit card company for information about the kinds of
emergency travel assistance it offers to users of portable computers.

through an X-ray machine or have it hand-inspected.
• Ensure that you have a charged battery available in case you are asked to
turn on the computer.

Some airlines forbid the use of electronic devices during flight. All airlines
forbid the use of electronic devices during takeoff and landing.
