Page 2

CAUTION

Use a (Class 2 for AC) power source that supplies 6V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the laptop’s DC 6V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the laptop or the adapter.

Do not leave the laptop plugged in when you are not using it.

Ô BATTERY NOTES Ô

Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

Do not burn or bury batteries.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

If you do not plan to use the laptop for a month or more, remove the batteries.

Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic parts.

Replacing the batteries erases the laptop’s memory. To protect memory, plug your optional AC adapter into the laptop and the outlet before replacing the batteries.

If your laptop locks up, reset it by removing the batteries and reinstalling them.
