Additional tips

■

If you plan to use several USB peripheral devices, take a portable USB hub
to provide additional USB ports.

■

Take a network cable if you need to connect to a network. Some hotels
provide Internet connectivity only through their networks.

■

If your notebook has been exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to warm
to room temperature before turning it on.

■

Carry proof of ownership or a merchandise passport when traveling
internationally.

■

Consult your insurance company and credit card company to learn about
emergency travel assistance if your notebook is lost or damaged.

■

Take your recovery discs (see

“Drivers and applications recovery” on

page 26

) in case you need to install an additional driver or software.
