CAUTION: Safety Instructions (continued)

To avoid shorting out your computer when disconnecting a network cable, first unplug the cable from the network adapter on the back of your computer, and then from the network jack. When reconnecting a network cable to your computer, first plug the cable into the network jack, and then into the network adapter.

To help protect your computer from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Ensure that nothing rests on your computer’s cables and that the cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.
