Radio frequency wireless
connections
• Every country has different restrictions on the use of
wireless devices. If your convertible notebook is
equipped with a wireless device, check with the local
radio approval authorities prior to your trip for any
restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the
destination country.
• Wireless communication can interfere with equipment
on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations
require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling
in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 communication devices are
examples of devices which use wireless to
communicate.
Files
• Copy your working files from your desktop computer
to your convertible notebook before you travel.
• If you need to access your desktop computer files from
your convertible notebook while traveling, set up your
desktop computer for remote access. Contact your
network administrator for more information about
remote access.
• Take extra recordable media for transferring files
between computers and backing up files.
Important
If your convertible notebook came equipped with an internal embedded
wireless device, see “Legal Information” on page 145 for general wireless
regulatory guidelines.
Tip
For more information about turning your wireless device on or
