Care during use
•
Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.
•
Do not spill anything on the notebook. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid
eating and drinking near your notebook.
•

There is a danger of explosion if the CMOS battery is replaced incorrectly.
Replace the battery with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
•
When the notebook is turned off, a small amount of electrical current still
flows through the notebook. To avoid electrical shock, always unplug all
power cables and modem cables from the wall outlets before cleaning the
notebook.

personnel if:

Wireless guidance
Low power, Radio transmitting type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless
communication devices), may be present (embedded) in your notebook system. These
devices may operate in the 2.4 GHz (i.e. 802.11b/g LAN & Bluetooth), 5.2 GHz (i.e.
802.11a LAN), and traditional cellular or PCS cellular bands (i.e. Cellular data modem).
The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a
wireless device.
Warning
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with
equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations
require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an
airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless Ethernet or WiFi),
wireless Internet, and Bluetooth communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
