Power Cables

This equipment requires a 3-wire, 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. In the U.S.A. and Canada, the plug must be rated for 125 VAC, 10 amp minimum. The plug must display an international agency approval marking. The cord must be suitable for use in your 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

The EMC performance of the notebook is guaranteed only if the cable and interface use efficient shielding.

The use of shielded interface cable is required for USB, IEEE 1394, serial, printer, game, analogue or digital audio/video, Ethernet LAN, PS/2, TV or FM antennas, and generally all high speeds cable interfaces.

Only Ethernet LAN or RTC modem cables can have lengths exceeding 3 metres.

For Ethernet LAN cable, use FTP shielded cables only (Cat ≥ 5).

Heat build-up

The AC adaptor and the underside of the notebook can become hot after prolonged use. Sustained physical contact with either should be avoided.

Replacing batteries

A lithium-battery in some computers maintains system configuration information. In the event that the battery fails to maintain system configuration information, we recommend that you replace the battery. For battery replacement information, call your dealer or your Customer Assistance Centre.

Unauthorised repairs or replacement of battery cells or parts in a battery-pack will void the safety and fire warranty.

WARNING

There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Do not place used batteries in your regular waste: incineration, landfilling or mixing of batteries with municipal solid waste stream are prohibited by law in most countries.

Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding environment- sound collection, recycling and disposal of used batteries.
