l If you are traveling internationally, carry proof of
ownership— or of your right to use the computer if it is
company-owned— to speed your passage through customs.
Investigate the customs regulations of the countries you plan
to visit and consider acquiring an international carnet (also
known as a merchandise passport) from your government.
l Ensure that you know which electrical outlets are used in the
countries you will visit, and have appropriate power adapters.
l Check with your credit card company for information about
the kinds of emergency travel assistance it offers to users of
portable computers.
l When traveling by air, ensure that you have a charged battery
available in case you are asked to turn on the computer.
l Before you use the computer on an airplane, verify that such
usage is permitted. Some airlines forbid the use of electronic
devices during the flight. All airlines forbid the use of
electronic devices during takeoff and landing.

through an X-ray machine, or have it manually inspected.
