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.
