• 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/Mini PCI card/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 RJ-11 connector and a network RJ-45 connector, insert the 

telephone cable into the RJ-11 connector, not the R-45 connector.

• PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC 

Cards after their continuous operation.

• Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet. 

Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol 

cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.

Power

• Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for use with this computer. Use of 

another AC adapter may cause a fire or explosion.

• Before you connect the computer to an electrical outlet, check the AC adapter voltage 

rating to ensure that the required voltage and frequency match the available power 

source.

• To remove the computer from all power sources, turn the computer off, remove the 

battery pack, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and device power cables into properly 

grounded power sources. These power cables may be equipped with 3-prong plugs to 

provide an earth grounding connection. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the 

grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power extension cable, use the 

appropriate type, 2-prong or 3-prong, to mate with the AC adapter power cable.

• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not 

located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

CAUTION: Safety Instructions
