Travel tips

Use the following travel tips to travel more confidently and efficiently with your computer.
1. While it is safe to allow your computer to go through the x ray machines at airport security stations, it is
important to keep your eyes on the computer at all times to prevent theft.
2. Consider bringing an airplane or automobile adapter for your computer.
3. Because you might need to use your computer in less than perfect lighting conditions, turn on the
ThinkLight by pressing Fn+PgUp to illuminate the keyboard.
4. If you carry an ac power adapter, detach the ac cord from it to avoid damaging the cord.
Note: If you use the ThinkLight, the battery life is slightly reduced.

Attention:
• For using onboard computer or wireless (such as Internet, Bluetooth, etc.) service, check the services
with the airline before boarding the airplane.

disable it before boarding. To disable it, refer to the instructions in "Enabling or disabling the wireless
feature" on page 56.
Follow the tips below:
