Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your netbook.
General Warnings
•
Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with the base resting
directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can potentially build up in the base.
Allowing sustained contact with the skin could cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
•
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation instructions
closely.
•
To avoid personal injury from electric shock or fire:
−
Completely power down the computer when replacing memory modules, cleaning the
computer, its components, or chassis, or performing operations requiring similar steps.
To do this, first turn the power off at the power switch, remove the battery, and then
disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet or from any other type of external
power source, such as an external battery.
−
Do not operate the computer near water, for example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, by a swimming pool, or in the rain.
−
Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of
this product during an electrical storm.
−
Avoid using the wired modem or LAN during an electrical storm, as a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning exists.
−
Do not push objects into the air vents or openings of your netbook or accessories.
Doing so can short out interior components and may cause fire or electric shock.
−
When installing memory modules, ground yourself by touching a grounded conductive
surface, such as a device with a grounded plug. Avoid touching the pins and leads on
the memory module or internal circuitry of the computer.
•
When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.
•
Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory module by its edges,
not its pins.
•
If the battery pack leaks and the fluid get in your eyes, do not rub them. Instead, rinse your
eyes with clean running water and immediately seek medical attention. Otherwise, eye
injury may be resulted.
•
If acid leaking from the battery pack contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash it
away with the running water. Otherwise, the skin inflammation may occur.
