Winbook X Series X2 - Manual (Page 61)

• Travel can present considerable risks of system shock or theft. Complete
a full system backup before traveling.
• Be familiar with your Setup settings, or print a copy of them, in case
there is damage to those settings while you travel.
• If you will be traveling to another country, check with your travel agent
to determine whether or not you will need special adapters to use the
electrical outlets and telephone connections.
• If you do a lot of traveling, you might find it useful to purchase an
acoustic coupler for your modem (which hooks to the handset instead
of directly to a phone jack), to allow connection even where compatible
phone jacks cannot be found. However, most public phones are now
being upgraded to accept modem/fax connection from portable com-
puters.
• Hand your WinBook notebook to an airport attendant rather than setting
it on the conveyor for security checks. This will help reduce the possibili-
ty of theft. (Note: X-rays will not damage your system.)
• Password protect your system (with at least one level of password) to
help preserve your data.
• Consider purchasing a lock for your WinBook notebook. The WinBook
notebook comes with a slot for connecting a lock located on the left side
of your system case.
• Brand or physically mark your computer to make for easy identification.
• If you will be using an Internet provider or other on-line service, call
ahead to find out local access numbers for your destination(s).
• In case your destination does not have outlets near convenient work
spaces, you might want to pack a short extension cord.
