Quick Start & Troubleshooting Guide
A defective power supply must be returned to your dealer.
Power Cables
This equipment requires a 3-wire grounded power cord, except on certain portable computers which require a 2-wire
un-grounded power cord. The cord length must not exceed 2.5 metres. To prevent electrical hazards, do not remove
or disable the ground contact on the power cord. Replace the power cord if it gets damaged. Contact your dealer for
an exact replacement. In Europe, the plug must be rated for 250 VAC, 10 amp minimum. The plug must display an
international agency approval marking. The cord must be suitable for use in the end-user country. Consult your dealer
or the local electrical authorities if you are unsure of the type of power cord to use in your country.
Cables
For cables which are not delivered with the Product in the computer's packaging:
The EMC performance of the system is guaranteed only if the cable and interface use efficient shielding.
The use of shielded interface cable is required for USB, IEEE1394, serial, printer, game, analogue or digital audio/
video, Ethernet LAN, PS2, TV or FM antennas, and generally all high-speed cable interfaces.
Use only UL Listed No. 26AWG or larger telecommunication cords.
Only Ethernet LAN or RTC modem cable can have length exceeding 3 meters.
Packard Bell recommends that you add a ferrite core round clip to each cable connecting your Packard Bell computer
to a hardware device that has not been delivered with your computer.

TATEMENT
The optical devices are tested and certified to be compliant with International Electrotechnical Commission
IEC60825-1 and European EN60825-1 standards for Class 1 laser products.
Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. The optical devices are designed such that there is never human
access to laser radiation above a Class 1 level during normal operation or prescribed maintenance conditions.
The optical devices installed in your computer are designed for use solely as components of such electronic product
and therefore do not comply with the appropriate requirements of Code of Federal Regulation Sec. 1040.10 and Sec.
1040.11 for COMPLETE laser products.
Because exposure to laser radiation is extremely hazardous, under no circumstances should the user attempt to disas-
semble the laser device.
