2.2.3 Travel Tips
If you are traveling abroad, you can carry the proof of ownership—or of your right
for using your notebook 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.
Ensure that you know which electrical outlets are used in the countries you will visit,
and prepare the appropriate power adapters.
Check with your credit card company for information about any kinds of emergency
travel assistance it offers to the users of the portable computers.
When traveling in the air, please ensure that you have a charged battery available
in case you are asked to turn on your notebook.
Before using your notebook on the airplane, please 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 taking-off and landing.
Never pass your notebook through a metal detector. Send it through an X-ray
machine, or have it manually inspected.
2.2.4 If Your Notebook is Lost or Stolen
Call a law enforcement agency to report your notebook lost or stolen. Ask that a case
number be assigned and write down the number, along with the name, address, and
telephone number of the law enforcement agency. If possible, please obtain the name of
the investigating officer.
If your notebook belongs to the company, notify its security office.
