Continued protection against electrical shock
For continued protection against the risk of electrical shock, follow these
steps:
Ÿ
Connect your computer only to an electrical outlet of the correct voltage.
If you are unsure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using,
contact your local power company.
Ÿ
If your computer has cables other than the power cords, you must
connect them before plugging the power cords into an electrical outlet.
Before removing these cables, you must first unplug the power cords
from the electrical outlet.
Ÿ
If your computer has a telephone connection, do not touch the
telephone cords when there is lightning in the area.
Ÿ
Do not use or store the computer in an area where it can become wet.
Ÿ
Make sure all replacement parts have characteristics identical or
equivalent to the original parts. Other parts may not have the same
safety features.
Ÿ
Personal injury or electrical shock might result if you undertake actions
other than those specifically described in this book. This is particularly
true if you try to service or repair the power supply, monitor, or built-in
modem. Always refer service or repairs to qualified service personnel.
