Compaq A1500 warranty

•Servicing

Except as explained elsewhere in the Compaq documentation, do not service any Compaq product yourself. Opening or removing covers that are marked may expose you to electric shock. Service needed on components inside these compartments should be done by a Compaq authorized service provider.

•Mounting Accessories

Do not use the product on an unstable table, cart, stand, tripod, or bracket. The product may fall, causing serious bodily injury and serious damage to the product. Use only with a table, cart, stand, tripod, or bracket recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

•Ventilation

Slots and openings in the product are provided for ventilation and should never be blocked or covered since these ensure reliable operation of the product and protect it from overheating. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other similar flexible surface. The product should not be placed in a built-in apparatus such as a bookcase or rack unless the apparatus has been specifically designed to accommodate the product, proper ventilation is provided for the product, and the manufacturer’s instructions have been followed.

•Water and Moisture

Do not use the product in a wet location.

•Grounded (Earthed) Products

Some products are equipped with a three-wire electrical grounding-type plug that has a third pin for grounding. This plug only fits into a grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug by trying to insert it into a non-grounded outlet. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

•Power Sources

The product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the product’s electrical ratings label. If you have questions about the type of power source to use, contact your Compaq authorized service provider or local power company. For a product that operates from battery power or other power sources, refer to the operating instructions included with the product.

•Accessibility

Be sure that the power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily accessible and located as close to the equipment operator as possible. When you need to disconnect power to the equipment, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

•Power Cords

If you have not been provided with a power cord for your unit or for any AC-powered option intended for use with your unit, you should purchase a power cord that is approved for use in your country.

The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product. In addition, the diameter of the wire must be a minimum of 0.75 mm2 / 18AWG and the cord should be between 5 and 6.5 feet (1.5 and 2 meters) long. If you have questions about the type of power cord to use, contact your Compaq authorized service provider.

Route the power cord so that it will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by items placed upon or against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord exits the product.

•Protective Attachment Plug

In some countries, the product cord set may be equipped with a wall plug having overload protection. This is a safety feature. If the plug needs to be replaced, be sure the Compaq authorized service provider uses a replacement plug specified by the manufacturer as having the same overload protection as the original plug.
