Getting Through Customs
With so many countries in the world, you can be sure that there are a
variety of customs regulations. Plan wisely to get your NEC Versa
LitePad tablet PC through customs by carrying the appropriate
documentation to assure the customs agent that your system is not a
recent purchase.
Travelers are often asked, when returning to their home country,
whether or not they purchased the computer while outside of the
country. Sometimes, the proof of purchase such as a bill of sale,
insurance policy, or purchase receipt is sufficient. Taking along the
purchase receipt for your tablet PC may sound practical, but may not
always suffice, particularly when the purchaser of the computer is your
company and the original receipt is not available to you.
Another alternative to a proof of purchase document is a Certificate of
Registration, a document that is issued when you register your NEC
Versa LitePad tablet PC with the Customs Service prior to departure.
The certificate of registration contains a brief description of your
tablet PC and lists appropriate serial numbers for identification.
The document is available from the customs web site at
http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/.
To avoid hassle when moving your system through customs, you may
want to obtain a certificate of registration and carry it whenever you
travel out of the country with your NEC Versa LitePad tablet PC.
Connecting to the Internet

Internet while you travel can be expensive and frustrating unless you
are prepared. Here are some tips on how to avoid frustration and
expense while on the road.
