Chapter 9: Traveling with Your Gateway M405 Packing your notebook ■ Remove all 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 ■ Prepare for airport security by charging the battery in case 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 your notebook for takeoff and landing. ■ Do not check your notebook as baggage. 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. 156 www.gateway.com
