Do not allow your portable computer to operate with
the base resting directly on exposed skin for extended
periods of time. The surface temperature of the base
will rise during normal operation (particularly when AC
power is present). Allowing sustained contact with
exposed skin can cause discomfort or, eventually, a
burn.
•
Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for
example, near a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool or in a
wet basement.
•
If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC
Card) modem, disconnect the modem cable if an
electrical storm is approaching to avoid the remote risk
of electric shock from lightning via the telephone line.
•
To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do
not connect or disconnect any cables or perform
maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during
an electrical storm. Do not use your computer during
an electrical storm unless all cables have been
disconnected and the computer is operating on battery
power.
•
If your computer includes a modem, the cable used
with the modem should be manufactured with a
minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG)
and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.
•
Before you open the memory module/modem cover on
the bottom of your computer, disconnect all cables
from their electrical outlets and disconnect the
telephone cable.
•
If your computer has a modem RJ11 connector and a
network RJ45 connector, insert the telephone cable into
the RJ11 connector, not the RJ45 connector.
•
PC Cards may become very warm during normal
operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their
continuous operation.
