Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your
computer.
When Using Your Computer
Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time
with the base resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat
can potentially build up in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the
skin could cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
■
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always flow
installation instructions closely.
■
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 follow can cause extremely
high temperatures and may result in damage from burns.
■
Be sure that noting rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that
the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
■
Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top 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.
■
Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use with
this computer. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may risk
fire or explosion.
■
Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the
voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power
source.
■
903 115 V/60Hz in most of North and south America and some Far
Eastern countries such as Taiwan.
■
904 100 V/50Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western
Japan.
■
905 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far
East.
■
If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the
total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable
does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
■
To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery,
and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical out let.
■
To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or
disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of
this product during an electrical storm.
■
When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.
