Before traveling internationally with the computer:

using the computer. These power cords are designed to meet

damage to the equipment, do not use the converter kits sold for
appliances to power the computer.

Make sure you have the correct modem and cable for the
country you’ll be visiting. Telephone line standards and
modem protocols differ from country to country.
