Switch off the radio component for data security reasons. With data traf
fi
c 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
fl
ight,
fi
rst check with the
fl
ight
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 power supply and the speci
fi
cations of the power cable are
compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions. Do
not use a connection adapter for electrical devices to connect the notebook.
►
Enquire with the corresponding government of
fi
ce 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 80
).
►
If you are planning to use a modem, please be aware that it may not necessarily be compatible
with the local telephone system. This may result in poor performance, or the modem may not work
at all. You may require a country-speci
fi
c telephone adapter (available as an optional accessory).
Transporting the notebook
A placeholder must occupy the ExpressCard slot. This will prevent any
foreign bodies from entering the notebook via the slot.
Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures
(e.g. direct sunlight in a car).
►
Remove all data carriers (e.g. CD, DVD) from the drives.
