Tips & Tricks

Notebook” on page 143 .
Use the following tips when traveling with your notebook.
■
Charge your battery before you leave. Security personnel at airports and
train stations may ask you to turn on your notebook.
■
Have your notebook hand-inspected or sent through the x-ray scanner,
but never carry it through the metal detector.
■
Always keep your notebook with you in airports, train stations, or bus
terminals. Be ready to claim your notebook as soon as it passes through
the x-ray machine in security checkpoints.
■
Write down your notebook model number and serial number in case of
theft or loss, and keep the information in a safe place. Also, tape your
business card or an address label to your notebook and accessories.
■
Whoever sits next to you or behind you can see your notebook display.
Avoid working with confidential files until you can be sure of privacy.
■
Carry proof of ownership or a merchandise passport when you travel
internationally.
■
Check with your insurance company and credit card company to learn
about emergency travel assistance if your notebook is lost or damaged.
