Preparing the computer
Prepare the computer as you would normally prepare it for traveling.
What to take with you
Take the following items with you:
• AC adapter
• Power cords that are appropriate for the country to which you
are traveling
• Spare, fully-charged battery packs
• Additional printer driver files if you plan to use another printer
• Proof of purchase, in case you need to show it to customs officials
• International Travelers Warranty passport
Special considerations
Follow the same special considerations as when traveling with the computer.
In addition, these tips are useful when traveling internationally:
• When traveling in another country, check that the local AC voltage and the AC
adapter power cord specifications are compatible. If not, purchase a power
cord that is compatible with the local AC voltage. Do not use converter kits sold
for appliances to power the computer.
• If you are using the modem, check if the modem and connector are compatible
with the telecommunications system of the country you are traveling in.
Securing your computer
Your computer is a valuable investment that you need to take care of. Learn how to
protect and take care of your computer.
Security features include hardware and software locks — a security notch
and passwords.
Using a computer security lock
The notebook comes with a Kensington-compatible security slot for a security lock.
Wrap a computer security lock cable around an immovable object such as a table or
handle of a locked drawer. Insert the lock into the notch and turn the key to secure
the lock. Some keyless models are also available.
