Recharging batteries in foreign countries:
• Ensure you have an adaptor to fit between the
wall socket and the plug on your charger. Find
out about the type you require.
CAUTION
Before making your journey, contact the carrier.
The organiser will provide information about any
specific conditions/instructions.
Check that the removable parts of the equipment
are securely attached or separately packed
and labelled to avoid them being mislaid during
