instrument containing many sensitive
components. It should be handled with care.
Here are some suggestions for traveling:

vibration.

Do not check the computer as baggage;
take the computer as carry-on luggage if
traveling by air.

proof of purchase with you in case you
need to show it to customs officials.
❑
Avoid placing the computer where it can be
stepped on or knocked around.
