CHAPTER 13: Traveling with Your Notebook Power ■ Take your AC power adapter to recharge the battery. If you are traveling internationally, take power plug adapters. ■ Take a portable surge protector to protect your notebook from power surges. ■ To get the best performance from your notebook, avoid using the battery whenever possible, monitor the battery charge, and use the most efficient power management settings. For information on conserving battery power, using alternate power sources, and monitoring the battery charge, see "Managing Power" on page 115. Additional tips ■ If you plan to use several USB peripheral devices, take a portable USB hub to provide additional USB ports. ■ Take a network cable if you need to connect to a network. Some hotels provide Internet connectivity only through their networks. ■ If your notebook has been exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room temperature before turning it on. ■ Carry proof of ownership or a merchandise passport when traveling internationally. ■ Consult your insurance company and credit card company to learn about emergency travel assistance if your notebook is lost or damaged. ■ Take your recovery discs (see "Drivers and applications recovery" on page 35) in case you need to install an additional driver or software. 194
