Security Administration (TSA) web site does not list laser pointers
among “Items Prohibited in Aircraft Cabins” (see www.tsa.gov), but
it does state that “other items that may be deemed to present a
potential threat may also be prohibited”. You may want to consider
packing your Tote-Remote in your check-in luggage rather than in
your carry-on bag.

regarding carrying laser pointers in commercial aircraft. If you have
any questions on this topic, you should consult with the responsible

Plug the USB RF receiver into a USB port on your computer (or into a
USB hub or USB extension cable). No special application software is
required because the Tote-Remote uses operating system drivers.
If you are using Windows XP or 2000, please allow the computer time
to recognize the USB receiver and to call up the drivers it needs from
the operating system. Usually there is some type of on-screen indication
of this activity such as a small pop up window. WAIT PATIENTLY
AND DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS, as the installation may

order for installation to be successful.
If you are using Windows 98SE or ME, a manual set up wizard may
appear. It will prompt you to navigate to the location of the drivers,
which may require you to place your original Windows operating
system CD into your CD-ROM drive.
