• If you will be traveling to another country, check with your travel
agent to determine whether or not you will need special adapters
to use the electrical outlets and telephone connections.
• If you do a lot of traveling, you might find it useful to purchase
an acoustic coupler for your modem (which hooks to the handset
instead of directly to a phone jack), to allow connection even where
compatible phone jacks cannot be found. However, most public
phones are now being upgraded to accept modem/fax connection
from portable computers.
• Hand your WinBook notebook to an airport attendant rather than
setting it on the conveyor for security checks. This will help reduce
the possibility of theft.
Note: X-rays will not damage your system.
• Password protect your system (with at least one level of password)
to help preserve your data.
• Consider purchasing a lock for your WinBook notebook. The WinBook
notebook comes with a slot for connecting a lock located on the left side
of your system case.
• Brand or physically mark your computer to make for easy identification.
• If you will be using an Internet provider or other on-line service,

• In case your destination does not have outlets near convenient
work spaces, you might want to pack a short extension cord.
Remember to pack:
• Your WinBook notebook
• Your WinBook notebook Restore CD (which contains the drivers
for your system)
