Getting Started with Your Notebook

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord to connect a modem to the telephone wall jack. In Australia, the notebook must be connected to the Telecommunication Network through a line cord that meets the requirements of ACA Technical Standard TS008.

When using your notebook with a telephone connection, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons.

Do not use this product with a telephone connection near water (for example, near a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, or in a wet basement).

Avoid using a telephone connection (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.

Do not use a telephone connection to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Use only the power cord and battery packs indicated in this guide. Do not dispose of battery packs in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

Disconnect the modem cable before opening the notebook case or touching an uninsulated modem cable, jack, or internal component.
