If you plan to use the computer during a flight, listen for the in-flight announcement that tells you when 

you are allowed to use your computer. In-flight computer use is at the discretion of the airline.

●

If you are shipping the computer or a drive, use suitable protective packaging and label the package 

“FRAGILE.”

●

The use of wireless devices may be restricted in some environments. Such restrictions may apply aboard 

aircraft, in hospitals, near explosives, and in hazardous locations. If you are uncertain of the policy that 

applies to the use of a wireless device in your computer, ask for authorization to use your computer 

before you turn it on.

●

If you are traveling internationally, follow these suggestions:

—

Check the computer-related customs regulations for each country or region on your itinerary.

—

Check the power cord and adapter requirements for each location in which you plan to use the 

computer. Voltage, frequency, and plug configurations vary.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not attempt 

to power the computer with a voltage converter kit sold for appliances.
