ABSTRACT:
A portable electronic device having a travel mode for use when demonstrating operability of the device to security personnel, for instance at airport security check points. The travel mode allows the portable device, such as a portable computer, to be turned-on and thereafter turned-off without delay. The travel mode also permits the portable device to simulate attributes of the computer device when the computer device is functioning in a mode other than said travel mode. For instance, the travel mode permits the portable device to make a sound, activate an LED and/or activate a display screen of the device to sufficiently satisfy security concerns without the need to launch application software. The travel mode helps to protect the integrity of firmware/software configurations stored in portable computers, when the computer is powered-down shortly after being turned-on.
