CHAPTER 6 : Traveling with Your Notebook
72
Packing your notebook
•
Remove all peripheral devices and cables. Remember to
pack those you will need while traveling.
•
Pack your 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 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 notebook as luggage.
•
Charge the battery in case airport security asks you to
start your notebook.
•
Have your notebook hand-inspected or sent through
the X-ray scanner, but never carry it through the metal
detector.
•
Turn off you 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.
