Transportation Precautions To prepare the UMPC for transport, turn it OFF and disconnect all external peripherals to prevent damage to the connectors. The hard disk drive's head retracts when the power is turned OFF to prevent scratching of the hard disk surface during transport. Hence, do not transport the UMPC while it is still turned ON. Cover Your UMPC Cover your UMPC with the bundled protection bag to protect it from dirt, water, shock, and scratches. Charge Your Batteries If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and any optional battery packs before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack when the UMPC is in use. Airplane Precautions Contact your airline if you want to use the UMPC onboard the aircraft. Most airlines restrict the use of electronic devices. Most airlines only allow the use of electronic devices between and not during takeoffs and landings. CAUTION: There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or individual items). You can send your UMPC through airport X-ray machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your UMPC through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.
