Special considerations
Follow the same special considerations as when traveling with the
computer. In addition, these tips are useful when traveling
internationally.
•
When traveling in another country, check that the local AC voltage
and the AC adapter power cord specifications are compatible. If
not, purchase a power cord that is compatible with the local AC
voltage (e.g., power rating). Do not use converter kits sold for
appliances to power the computer.
•
If you are using the modem, check if the modem and connector is
compatible with the telecom system of the country you are
traveling in.
