Travel tips

Use the following travel tips to travel more confidently and efficiently with your tablet:
1. While it is safe to allow your tablet to go through the x ray machines at airport security stations, it is
important to keep your eyes on the tablet at all times to prevent theft.
2. Put your tablet in a protective case when not in use to prevent damage or scratching.
3. If you are traveling abroad, disable the data roaming function to prevent unwanted charges. See
"Disabling data roaming on mobile networks" on page 24.
Travel tips on airplanes
If you carry your tablet into an airplane, check the following travel tips:
1. If you are going to use the wireless service, check with the airline for any restrictions before boarding
the airplane.

mode. To enable it, do the following:
a. Touch the time area from the system bar to open the Status Details panel.
b. Touch anywhere in the Status Details panel. The Quick Settings panel is displayed.
