Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and
your computer.
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
computer 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
result.
• If acid leaking from the battery pack contacts your skin or clothing,
immediately wash it away with running water. Otherwise, skin
inflammation can occur.
• Operate the computer at the recommended temperature range of
+5°C to +35°C (+41°F to +95°F). Store it at a temperature of -20°
C to +60°C (+4°F to +140°F).
• Your computer shipped with plastic dummies installed in the
PCMCIA or Express slot. Dummies protect unused slots from
dust, metal object, or other particles. Save the dummy for use
when no PCMCIA or Express Card is installed in the slot.
Power Cord & Adapter Warnings
• See the installation instructions before connecting to the power
supply.
• Power cord sets for use in other countries must meet the
requirements of that country. Use the appropriate AC adapter and
power cord for your locale.
