Travel Guidelines
For safety and convenience when traveling with your handheld
PC, follow these guidelines:
■
Back up your data before you leave. (For more about using
the Backup and Restore utilities, see Chapter 8, “Using
Compaq Software.”)
■
Take a backup copy of your data with you. (For more about
backing up data onto an optional ATA Flash RAM PC Card,
see Chapter 8, “Using Compaq Software.”)
■
Disconnect all external equipment from the device.
■
Take the AC Adapter and new batteries with you.
■
Hand-carry your device in a protective case. Do not check it
with your luggage.
■
Do not close objects between the keyboard and screen.
■
Be aware of potential effects of airport security devices on
your handheld PC.
IMPORTANT:
There are three types of airport security devices:
X-ray machines, magnetic detectors (the device you walk
through), and security magnetic wands. You can send your
device through airport X-ray machines. However, Compaq
recommends that you do not send the device through
magnetic detectors or expose it to security magnetic wands.
■
Check with the airline if you plan to use the device on the
plane. In-flight use of electronic devices is at the discretion of
the airline.
International Travel
Before traveling internationally with the handheld PC, be sure to:
■
Check local customs regulations.
■
If using an external modem or PC Card modem, be sure you
have the correct modem and cable for the country you are
visiting. Telephone lines differ from country to country.
