■
Disconnect external equipment from the computer.
■
Hand-carry the computer in its carrying case or in a briefcase.
Do not check it in with your luggage.
IMPORTANT:
There are three types of airport security devices:
X-ray machines (the conveyor belt device you set your bags
on), magnetic detectors (the device you walk through), and
security magnetic wands (the hand-held device used by
security personnel). You can send your computer and diskettes
through airport X-ray machines. However, Compaq
recommends that you do not send your computer and diskettes
through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to security
magnetic wands.
■
Check with the airline if you plan to use the computer on the
plane. In-flight computer use is regulated and varies by airline.
Before traveling internationally with the computer, follow these
guidelines:
■
Check local customs regulations for restrictions and
requirements on traveling with a computer.
■
Purchase from a Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service
provider a power cord for the country where you will be using
the computer. These power cords are designed to meet the
voltage and frequency requirements of each country.
CAUTION:
Do not use the converter kits sold for appliances to
power the computer
■
Make sure you have the correct modem cable adapter for the
country you will be visiting. Telephone line standards and
modem protocols differ from country to country.
