HP Pavilion xt500 HP Notebook Series - Maintenance, Shipping and Travel Guide - Page 14

Preparing the Notebook for Shipping or Traveling ■ Do not expose the notebook or diskettes to a magnetic security detector. ❏ The security device that examines carry-on items placed on a conveyor belt uses x-rays and is safe for the notebook and diskettes. ❏ The walk-through security device and the handheld security wands are magnetic and may damage the notebook or diskettes. ■ If you plan to use the notebook during a flight, check with the airline in advance. In-flight notebook use is at the discretion of the airline. ■ If your notebook has a GSM device, such as the GPRS Multiport Module, you must turn off the GSM device on your notebook before boarding and keep it turned off if you plan to use your notebook during the flight. ■ If you are traveling internationally: ❏ Consult with a Customer Care Center about power cord and adapter requirements for each location in which you plan to use the notebook. (Voltage, frequency, and plug configurations vary.) Refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet to contact a Customer Care Center for help and support. Å WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to power the notebook with a voltage converter kit sold for appliances. ❏ Check the computer-related customs regulations for each country on your itinerary. 3-2 Maintenance, Shipping and Travel
