Protecting from power source problems
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your
convertible notebook can increase to levels far above normal levels and
cause data loss or system damage. Protect your convertible notebook and
peripheral devices by connecting them to a surge protector, which absorbs
voltage surges and prevents them from reaching your convertible
notebook.
Warning High voltages can enter your convertible notebook through
both the power cord and the modem connection. To protect
your convertible notebook and avoid electrical shock, use
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.
