Travel Considerations
Packing
As you get ready for your trip, run through this list to make sure the system is ready to go:
1. Check that the battery pack and any spares are fully charged.
2. Power off the computer and peripherals.
3. Close the display p anel and make sure it’s latched.
4. Disconnect the AC/DC adapter and cables. Stow them in th e carrying bag.
5. The AC/DC adapter use s voltages from 100 to 240 volt s so you won’t need a second volt age adapte r. However ,
check with your travel agent to see if you need any socket adapters.
6. Put the notebook in its carrying bag and secure it with the bag’s straps.
7. If you’re t aking any peripherals (e.g. a pr inter, mouse or digital camera), pack them and those devices’ adapters
and/or cables.
8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions o r require proof of own ership for both ha rd-
ware and software. Make sure your “papers” are handy.

Power Off Before Traveling
Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a
notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the Vents/Fan Intakes to be blocked. T o prevent your computer
from overheating make sure nothing blocks the Vent/Fan Intakes while the computer is in use.
