CHAPTER 6: Traveling with Your Notebook
Remove all discs, express cards, peripheral devices, and
cables. Remember to pack those you will need while
traveling.
Pack your 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 notebook stable during travel. Secure it to
prevent it from sliding around in overhead bins and car
trunks.
Do not check your notebook as luggage.
Charge the battery in case airport security asks you to
start your notebook.
Have your notebook hand-inspected or sent through the
X-ray scanner, but never carry it through the metal
detector.
Turn off you notebook for takeoff and landing.
Turn off all wireless devices while in the aircraft.
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.
