aWARNING: Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one will accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not use converter kits sold for appliances to power your computer.
