Using Your Computer Comfortably and Safely
When installing your hard disk drive, apply pressure only where
indicated on the device.
Treat your computer like a precision piece of electronic
machinery.
Retain and store packing materials safely out of reach of children
to prevent the risk of suffocation from plastic bags.
Register your ThinkPad products with IBM (refer to the Setup
Guide). This can help authorities return your computer to you if
it is lost or stolen. Registering your computer also enables IBM
to notify you about possible upgrades.
Check the IBM Web pages at www.us.pc.ibm.com periodically
to get current information about your computer.
