■

Take a modem cable to connect the modem to telephone jacks. If you 
are traveling internationally, take telephone jack adapters or an acoustic 
handset coupler.

■

Take a telephone line protector.

■

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.

■

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. If 
your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between 
countries with your system, 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 system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, 
see “Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information” on page 281 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 802.11B (also known as wireless 
Ethernet or WiFi) communication devices are examples of devices which 
use wireless to communicate.
