Compaq ARMADA 3500 3500 User Manual page 97

For safety and convenience when traveling, follow these
guidelines:
Safeguard your data before you leave on a trip by making a
backup copy.
Take an extra backup copy of the data with you.
Remove the diskette from the external diskette drive, and
compact disc or digital video disc from the CD-ROM drive or
DVD drive in the optional Mobile 3500 Expansion Unit.
Disconnect the power cord from the computer. Take the power
cord or an extra fully charged battery pack with you.
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.
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.
