Packard Bell F10 manual Building Supply, BABT’s Apparatus Approval, Power Supply, Power Cables

Building Supply

Only connect the equipment to a building supply that is in accordance with current wiring regulations in your country. In the U.K., these are the IEE regulations.

BABT’s Apparatus Approval

This equipment complies with BABT’s Apparatus Approval No. NS/G/1234/J/100003 with regard to indirect Connection to the BT Public Switched Telephone Network. Refer to OFTEL statement SA29 for further information.

POWER SUPPLY AND CABLES

Power Supply

The power supply socket-inlet and socket-outlet (if equipped) are classified as Hazardous Voltage.

You must unplug the power supply cord to disconnect the equipment from the power supply (and remove the battery if you are using a notebook). In that aim, the socket-outlet should be installed near to the equipment and should be easily accessible.

In the European countries, before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, check that the voltage selector switch of the computer's power supply (if available) is in the position "230 V". In the U.S.A. and Canada, before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, check that the voltage selector switch of the computer's power supply (if available) is in the position "115 V".

Under no circumstances should the user attempt to disassemble the power supply. The power supply has no user- replaceable parts. Inside the power supply are hazardous voltages that can cause serious personal injury.

A defective power supply must be returned to your dealer.

Power Cables

This equipment requires either a 3-wire (grounded) or 2-wire (ungrounded) 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 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

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 speeds cables’ interfaces.

Use only UL Listed No. 26AWG or larger telecommunication cords.

Only Ethernet LAN or RTC modem cable can have length exceeding 3 meters. For Ethernet LAN cable, use FTP shielded cables only (cat ≥ 5).

Heat Build-up and Portable Computers

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

CHASSIS COVER REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

Before removing the chassis cover to service or modify the equipment, you must disconnect all power and modem cords (and remove the main battery in portable computers). You then must close the chassis before you plug in and switch on the equipment.

RECOMMENDED ENVIRONMENT

While operating: temperature: 10°C to 35°C, relative humidity: 10% to 90% (non-condensing).

While in storage: temperature: -20°C to 60°C, relative humidity: 5% to 95% (non-condensing).

LASER COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

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.
