Take a telephone line tester to check for unsafe lines, especially if you are traveling internationally. Take remote access information with you so you can connect to your ISP while outside of your usual calling area. A list of country dialing codes may be especially useful if you are traveling internationally. Radio frequency wireless connections Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. If your notebook is equipped with a wireless device, check with the local radio approval authorities prior to your trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination country. If your notebook came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, see "Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information" on page 275 for general wireless regulatory guidelines. Wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802. 11a, IEEE 802. 11b, and IEEE 802. 11g communication devices are examples of devices which use wireless to communicate. For instructions on how to turn off your wireless device, see "Turning your wireless Ethernet on or off" on page 193. 160 www. gateway. com Files Files Copy your working files from your desktop computer to your notebook before you travel. If you need to access your desktop computer files from your notebook while traveling, set up your desktop computer for remote access. Contact your network administrator for more information about remote access. Take extra recordable media for transferring files between computers and backing up files. Security Get a locking cable for your notebook so you can attach a cable lock and leave your notebook in your hotel room while you are away. Always keep your notebook with you while waiting in airports, train stations, or bus terminals. Be ready to claim your notebook as soon as it passes through the x-ray machine in security checkpoints. Write down your notebook model number and serial number (see "Identifying your model" on page 9) in case of theft or loss, and keep the information in a safe place. Also, tape your business card or an address label to your notebook and accessories. Whoever sits next to you or behind you can see your notebook display. [. . . ] Refer to the system label to verify the presence of wireless devices. Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for use in Mexico if a COFETEL ID is on the system label. As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on. [. . . ]
