Travel Tips
Identifying Your Computer
l Attach a name tag or business card to the computer.
l Write down your Service Tag and store it in a safe place away from the computer or carrying case. Use the Service Tag if you need to report a loss or
theft to law enforcement officials and to Dell.
l Create a file on the Microsoft® Windows® desktop called if_found. Place information such as your name, address, and phone number in this file.
l Contact your credit card company and ask if it offers coded identification tags.
Packing the Computer
l Remove any external devices attached to the computer and store them in a safe place. Remove any cables attached to installed PC Cards, and remove
any extended PC Cards (see Removing a Card or Blank).

l Avoid packing the computer with items such as shaving cream, colognes, perfumes, or food.
l Protect the computer, the batteries, and the hard drive from hazards such as extreme temperatures and overexposure to sunlight, dirt, dust, or liquids.
l Pack the computer so that it does not slide around in the trunk of your car or in an overhead storage compartment.
Travel Tips
l Consider changing your power management options to maximize battery operating time (see Configuring Power Management Settings).
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 Find out what type of 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.
Traveling by Air
l Ensure that you have a charged battery available in case you are asked to turn on the computer.
l Prior to entering the airplane, verify that using a computer is permitted. Some airlines forbid the use of electronic devices during flight. All airlines forbid
the use of electronic devices during takeoff and landing.
NOTICE: When the display is closed, extraneous items on the keyboard or palm rest could damage the display.
NOTICE: If the computer has been exposed to extreme temperatures, allow it to acclimate to room temperature for 1 hour before turning it on.
NOTICE: Do not move the computer while using the optical drive to prevent loss of data.
NOTICE: Do not check the computer as baggage.
NOTICE: Do not walk the computer through a metal detector. Send the computer through an X-ray machine or have it hand-inspected.
