■

Take a telephone cord 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 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.
