Your Computer

Plugging In the Power Adapter

Always leave space around your power adapter. Do not use this equipment in a location where airflow around the power adapter or computer is confined. Always disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery before opening the computer to perform procedures such as installing memory or removing the hard disk.

Warning: Use only the power adapter that came with your PowerBook computer. Adapters for other electronic devices (including other PowerBook models and other portable computers) may look similar, but they may affect your computer’s performance or damage it.

Connecting a Phone Line to the Internal Modem

Always disconnect the phone cord before opening the computer to perform procedures such as installing memory or removing the hard disk.

Warning: Do not connect a digital telephone line to the modem, because the wrong type of line could damage the modem.

Connectors and Ports

Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
