Dell Latitude CPx J - Manual (Page 18)

The computer can go through an airport X-ray security machine.
Before you use the computer on an airplane, check the in-flight magazine or ask the flight crew to verify
that such use 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.
Dell has several carrying cases that protect the computer and accessories during travel.
If you pack the computer in a suitcase, do not pack so tightly that the computer display breaks or so
loosely that the computer slides around.
Avoid packing the computer with items such as shaving cream, colognes, perfumes, or food.
Protect the computer, the battery, and the hard-disk drive from hazards such as extreme temperatures;
overexposure to sunlight; and exposure to dirt, dust, or liquids.
Pack the computer so that it does not slide around in the trunk of your car or in an overhead storage
compartment.
If you are carrying a second hard-disk drive separately, protect the drive from exposure to static
electricity by placing the drive in an antistatic bag or wrapping it in a nonconductive fabric.
Travel Tips
Consider changing the settings of your power management options to maximize battery life if you will
be using battery power for extended periods.
If you are traveling internationally, carry proof of ownership to speed your passage through customs. If
the computer is provided by your employer, carry documentation of your right to use the computer.
Investigate the customs regulations of the countries you plan to visit, and consider acquiring an
international
carnet from your government if you travel through many different countries.
Power interruptions can occur frequently in some countries. Always have a charged battery available if
traveling abroad.
Credit card holders should check with their credit card companies for information about the kinds of
emergency travel assistance they offer to users of portable computers. Many companies provide
services that help you solve problems, such as quickly locating 3.5-inch diskettes or providing a direct-
dial telephone line for your modem connection.
NOTICE: Do not use removable media drives while the computer is in motion. The vibrations could
interrupt the flow of data to and from the storage devices and the hard-disk drive or diskette drive.
Carnet
A carnet is an international customs document (also known as a merchandise passport) that facilitates
temporary imports into foreign countries and is valid for up to 1 year.
