Handling your Macintosh PowerBook

The safety instructions earlier in this appendix also apply when you are
traveling. In addition, note these precautions:

m Do not transport your Macintosh PowerBook while it is turned on. Put

your computer to sleep or shut it down before you move it.

m Transport batteries either inside the computer or with the protective case

covering the battery contacts. Do not transport unprotected batteries.

m Do not check your computer as baggage. Carry it with you.
m Take the necessary plug adapters if you’re traveling overseas. (You may

need to use them with the power cord.) You do not need a voltage
transformer. The power adapter can handle 90 volts to 260 volts AC
(48 Hz to 62 Hz).

Check the diagrams below to determine which plug adapters you’ll need, or
ask your travel agent.
