Travelling with your notebook
Mobileope rationNotesTranspor tationNotebook
Please observe the points listed below when travelling with your notebook.
Before you travel
►Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
NotebookTravel,noteboo k
►Switch off the radio component for data security reasons. With data traffic via a wireless
connection, it is also possible for unauthorised third parties to receive data.
Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation
for your radio component.
►If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight
attendants if it is OK to do so.
When travelling in other countries
►If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the
local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate mains adapter for
your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!
►Check whether the local mains voltage and the power cable are compatible. If this is
not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions.
►Enquire with the corresponding government office of the country you will be
travelling in as to whether you may operate the radio component integrated in your
notebook there (see also "CE marking", Page 117).
Notebook: transporting
Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures
(e.g. direct sunlight in a car).
►If your device has an optical drive, remove all data media (e.g. CD, DVD) from the drives.
TransportationNotebook
►Switch the notebook off.
►Unplug the mains adapter and all external devices from the power socket.
►Disconnect the mains adapter cable and the data cables for all external devices.
►Close the LCD screen.
►To protect against damaging jolts and bumps, use a notebook carrying
case to transport your notebook.
