82
Packing your convertible
notebook
• Remove all peripheral devices and cables. Remember to
pack those you will need while traveling.
• Pack your convertible 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 convertible 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 convertible notebook as luggage.
• Charge the battery in case airport security asks you to
start your convertible notebook.
• Have your convertible notebook hand-inspected or sent
through the X-ray scanner, but never carry it through
the metal detector.
• Turn off you convertible 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.
