•
To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and peripheral power cables
into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with
three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or
remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable,
use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
•
If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged into the extension cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
•
To remove power from the APR, turn off the computer and disconnect the AC
adapter from the electrical outlet.
•
If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) 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.
•
Disconnect the modem cable during an electrical storm 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.
•
When setting up the APR for work, place it on a level surface.
•
Protect your APR from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids,
temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
•
When you move your APR between environments with very different tempera-
ture or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the computer. To
avoid damaging the APR, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate
before using the computer.
NOTICE: When taking the APR from low-temperature conditions into a
warmer environment or from high-temperature conditions into a
cooler environment, allow the APR to acclimate to room temperature
before turning on power.
•
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not
on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid
bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both
connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
•
Handle the APR with care.
•
Before you clean your APR, turn it off and unplug it from its power source.
•
Clean your APR with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
