When you travel with your notebook, the following suggestions
may be helpful:
■
Take along a backup of your work. Keep the backup separate
from the notebook.
■
Do not expose the notebook or diskettes to a magnetic
security detector.
❏
The security device that examines carry-on items placed
on a conveyor belt uses x-rays and is safe for the notebook
and diskettes.
❏
The walk-through security device and the handheld
security wands are magnetic and may damage the
notebook or diskettes.
■
If you are traveling by air
❏
Carry your notebook as hand baggage. Do not check it
with the rest of your luggage.
❏
Check in advance with the airline if you plan to use the
notebook during a flight. In-flight notebook use is at the
discretion of the airline.
