Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the EKB PC on the airplane. Most
airlines have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines allow
electronic use only between and not during takeoffs and landings.
There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray
machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic
detectors (used on people walking through security checks),
and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or
individual items). You can send your EKB PC and discs through
airport X-ray machines. However, we recommend that you
do not send your EKB PC or discs through airport magnetic
detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.
