The Easy Setup Poster and the “Government Approvals” section in the Safety and Comfort Guide for worldwide power cord information.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not use converter kits sold for appliances to power your Notebook. Use only the Compaq adapter that came with your Notebook or a Compaq replacement part.

Plugging and Unplugging AC Power

Do’s

•Ensure that you can reach the electrical outlet easily.

•Unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet when you want to disconnect AC power from your Notebook.

•When unplugging from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.

Don’ts

•Do not leave the AC adapter plugged into the electrical outlet when it is not connected to your Notebook.

•Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one accidentally steps on or trips over them.

Surge Protectors

Using surge protectors and line conditioners can substantially reduce the risk of electrical shock and aid in protecting your Notebook from power-source problems.

During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your Notebook can increase and cause data loss or system damage. Protect your Notebook and peripherals by connecting them to a surge suppressor, which absorbs voltage surges and prevents them from reaching your Notebook.

ÄCaution: High voltages can enter your Notebook through the phone line connected to the modem. To protect your Notebook during electrical storms, use a telephone line surge protector.
