Travel Tips 

Although notebooks are designed to be as robust as possible to cater 

for a mobile lifestyle, extreme care and caution should be taken when 
travelling. When travelling by land, sea or air, every precaution should be 
taken to make sure that the notebook is well secured when it is not in use. 

●  The most essential accessory you should have when travelling is a 

good carry case for your notebook. The case should be well padded 
to protect your notebook from drops and bumps, etc and should be 
big enough to hold the size of notebook. 

●  Make sure there is enough room to carry your AC Adaptor and 

spare battery etc. Only carry the necessary items in your carry 
case, as the weight can become tedious especially when walking 
long distances or waiting in long queue’s. 

●  When travelling by air, never book your notebook in with checked 

baggage. Always declare it as hand baggage so that you can carry 
it into the airplane cabin with you. Most airlines allow two pieces of 
hand baggage with one of them being a bag or carry case with a 
portable notebook. Please consult your local airline for more details. 

●  When placing your notebook on an X-Ray, make sure that you keep 

a close eye on it when it is one the conveyor belt. Hold on to your 
notebook until the last minute before placing it on the conveyor. 
In some airports it could be stolen while you are stuck in a queue 
waiting to pass through the metal detector. 

●  Notebooks and hard drives can pass through X-Ray machines but 

never allow these to pass through a metal detector. This can cause 
data loss to the hard drive. 

●  Never place your notebook in the overhead storage compartment as 

this can make it susceptible to damage caused by turbulence that 
may be experienced during the flight or in other case theft. You can 
store your notebook under your seat, where it is always in sight. 

●  You should take every precaution to protect your notebook from dust, 

dirt, liquid spillage, food droppings, extreme weather conditions and 
direct exposure to sunlight. 

●  When travelling between different climates, from one extreme to 

another, condensation may occur inside the notebook. If this does 
happen, please allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate 
completely, before attempting to switch on. 

●  When travelling from extremely colder to extremely warmer climates 

in a short space of time, and vice versa, please allow the notebook 
some time to adapt to the change in environment.
