Safety Instructions
General
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself unless you are a trained service
technician. Always follow installation instructions closely.
If you use an extension power cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged in to the extension power cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire
or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you
use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with
papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter inside a
carrying case.
Do not allow your portable computer to operate with the base resting directly on
exposed skin for extended periods of time. The surface temperature of the base will rise
during normal operation (particularly when AC power is present). Allowing sustained
contact with the skin can cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or
swimming pool or in a wet basement.
If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, disconnect the
modem cable if an electrical storm is approaching to avoid the remote risk of electric
shock from lightning via the telephone line.
To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any
cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical
storm. Do not use your computer during an electrical storm unless all cables have been
disconnected and the computer is operating on battery power.
If your computer includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be
manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-
