Connecting
Follow the instructions below to connect your Notebook correctly and safely:
2.8.1.
Power
Supply
DANGER!
Do not open the housing of the mains adapter. There is a
risk of electric shock when the housing is open. It does not
contain any parts requiring maintenance.
The socket outlet must be close to the Notebook and easily accessi-
ble.
• To disconnect the power supply from your Notebook (via the
mains adaptor), pull the mains plug from the power outlet.
• Plug the Notebook’s mains adapter into AC 100–240 V~, 50/60 Hz
earthed sockets only. If you are not sure about the power supply at
the set-up location, please ask your power supplier.
• Use only the mains adapter and power cable supplied.
• For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protection
device to prevent your Notebook from sustaining damage as a re-
sult of power surges or lightning strikes.
• If you want to disconnect the adapter from the mains, pull the con-
nector out of the wall socket first and then out of the socket on the
Notebook. The mains adapter or the Notebook may be damaged if
this process is carried out in the reverse order. Always take hold of
the plug when disconnecting the cable from the socket. Never pull
on the cable.
2.9.
Cabling
• Position the cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped
over.
• To avoid damaging the cables, do not place any objects on them.
• Do not connect peripheral devices – such as keyboards, mouse
and monitor, etc. – when the Notebook is switched on to avoid
damage to the Notebook or the devices. Some devices may also
be connected while the computer is running. This is generally the
case for devices with a USB connection. In all cases, observe the
relevant operating instructions.
