CHAPTER 6: Traveling with Your Notebook Packing your notebook • Remove all discs, express cards, peripheral devices, and cables. Remember to pack those you will need while traveling. • Pack your notebook securely into a briefcase or hand-carried luggage, and keep it separate from toiletries, liquids, and food. Do not pack it in checked luggage. • Keep your notebook stable during travel. Secure it to prevent it from sliding around in overhead bins and car trunks. Traveling by air • Do not check your notebook as luggage. • Charge the battery in case airport security asks you to start your notebook. • Have your notebook hand-inspected or sent through the X-ray scanner, but never carry it through the metal detector. • Turn off you notebook for takeoff and landing. • Turn off all wireless devices while in the aircraft. Dial-up modem • Take a telephone cord to connect the modem to telephone jacks. If you are traveling internationally, take telephone jack adapters or an acoustic handset coupler. • Take a telephone line protector. • Take a telephone line tester to check for unsafe lines, especially if you are traveling internationally. • Take remote access information with you so you can connect to your ISP while outside of your usual calling area. A list of country dialing codes may be especially useful if you are traveling internationally. 82
