Protecting from power source problems
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming
into your notebook can increase to levels far above normal
levels and cause data loss or system damage. Protect your
notebook and peripheral devices by connecting them to a surge
protector , which absorbs voltage surges and prevents them
from reaching your notebook.
Important
If the battery charge indicator does not turn blue after three
hours, contact MPC. For more information, see “MPC contact
information” on page 2 .
Warning
High voltages can enter your notebook through both the power cord and
the modem connection. To protect your notebook and avoid electrical shock,
use a surge protector. If you have a telephone modem, use a surge protector
that has a modem jack. If you have a cable modem, use a surge protector that
has an antenna/cable TV jack. During an electrical storm, unplug both the surge
protector and the modem.
