1. Although you may carry some devices and installed batteries in checked baggage, carrying them in carry-on baggage, when practicable, is preferred. Whether in checked or carry-on baggage, ensure that devices remain switched off, either by built-in switch\/trigger locks, by taping the activation switch in the \u201coff\u201d position, or by other appropriate measures. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
2. Be sure to take protective measures to prevent against short-circuits. See the spare battery tips and how-to pages. <\/div>\n
