Warning

Using wireless devices while flying in aircraft may be prohibited. All

wireless devices must be switched off before boarding an aircraft and

during take-off, as they may be dangerous to the operation of the

aircraft, disrupt communications, and even be illegal. You may turn on

your computer\s wireless devices only when informed that it is safe to

do so by the cabin crew.

Important

When removing a USB storage device, you should right-click on the

USB icon in the Windows task bar and select "Eject <device>" to tell the

operating system to stop using the device before removing it. Failure to

do this may result in data loss or damage to your peripheral.
