To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter cable into a properly grounded power source. The power cable may be equipped with a three-prong plug to provide an earth grounding connection. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power extension cable, use the appropriate type, two-prong or three-prong, to mate with the AC adapter power cable.

Be sure that nothing rests on the AC adapter power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when plugging the AC adapter power cable into the power strip. Some power strips may allow you to insert the plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the power plug could result in permanent damage to your computer, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire. Ensure that the ground prong of the power plug is inserted into the mating ground contact of the power strip.

Battery (Safety Instructions, continued)

Do not carry the high-capacity battery pack in your luggage, briefcase, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys or paper clips) could short- circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.

The high-capacity battery pack poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged or leaking battery pack with extreme care. If the battery pack is damaged, electrolyte may leak from the cells and may cause personal injury.

Keep away from children.
