Safety Instructions
iii
•
Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desktop or on the floor, when
you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter
with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter
while it is inside a carrying case.
•
Disconnect power cords and cables by grasping the connector, not by pulling on
the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid
bending any connector pins. Before you connect a cable, make sure both
connectors are correctly aligned.
•
To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery, and disconnect
the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
Battery Pack Warnings
−
Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects
(such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive
current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from
burns.
−
Danger of explosion may occur if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same or equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer.
−
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local authorities
for disposal instructions.
−
Do not use or leave the battery pack near a heat source. Heat can melt the insulation
and damage other safety features, possibly leading it to leak acid, overheat, emit
smoke, burst and/or ignite.
−
Do not immerse the battery pack in water or allow it to get wet. Its protective features
can be damaged. Abnormal chemical reactions may occur, possibly leading it to
leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
−
Do not crush, disassemble, puncture, or incinerate the short external contacts of a
battery pack.
−
Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with a metal object such as
wire. Short-circuiting may occur leading the battery pack to leak acid, overheat, emit
smoke, burst and/or ignite.
−
Do not use an apparently deformed or damaged battery pack, which may leak acid,
overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
−
If the battery pack leaks, gives off a bad odor, generates heat, becomes discolored
or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage,
immediately remove it from the computer or charger and stop using it.
