Traveling with the Computer For safety and convenience when traveling, follow these guidelines: s Safeguard your data before you leave on a trip by making a backup copy. s Take an extra backup copy of the data with you. s Remove the diskette from the external diskette drive, and compact disc or digital video disc from the CD-ROM drive or DVD drive in the optional Mobile 3500 Expansion Unit. s Disconnect the power cord from the computer. Take the power cord or an extra fully charged battery pack with you. s Disconnect external equipment from the computer. s Hand-carry the computer in its carrying case or in a briefcase. Do not check it in with your luggage. IMPORTANT: There are three types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (the conveyor belt device you set your bags on), magnetic detectors (the device you walk through), and security magnetic wands (the hand-held device used by security personnel). You can send your computer and diskettes through airport X-ray machines. However, Compaq recommends that you do not send your computer and diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to security magnetic wands. s Check with the airline if you plan to use the computer on the plane. In-flight computer use is regulated and varies by airline. Before traveling internationally with the computer, follow these guidelines: s Check local customs regulations for restrictions and requirements on traveling with a computer. s Purchase from a Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider a power cord for the country where you will be using the computer. These power cords are designed to meet the voltage and frequency requirements of each country.
