Protecting from power source problems
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your
convertible tablet PC can increase to far above normal levels and cause data
loss or system damage. Protect your convertible tablet PC and peripheral devices
by connecting them to a surge protector, which absorbs voltage surges and
prevents them from reaching your convertible tablet PC.
Warning
High voltages can enter your convertible tablet PC through
both the power cord and the modem connection. Protect
your convertible tablet PC by using a surge protector. If
you have a telephone modem, use a surge protector that
has a modem jack. If you have a cable modem, use a
surge protector that has an antenna/cable TV jack. During
an electrical storm, unplug both the surge protector and
the modem.
