•Tohelp prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapterand peripheral power cables
intoproperly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with
three-prongplugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or
removethe grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable,
usea three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
•Ify ou use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
ratingof the products plugged into the extension cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
•Toremove power from the APR, turn off the computer and disconnect the AC
adapterfrom the electrical outlet.
•If your computer includes an integrated or optional (P CCa rd) modem, the cable
usedwith the modem should be manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26
Americanwire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.

•Whenyou move your APR between environments with very different
temperature or humidity ranges, condens ation may form on or within the
computer.To avoid damaging the APR, allowsufficient time for the moisture to
evaporatebefore using the computer.
NOTICE: When taking the APR from low-temperature conditions into a
warmer environmentor from high-temperature conditions into a cooler
environment,allow the APR to acclimate to room temperature before
turning on power.
•Whenyou disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not
onthe cable itself. As you pull out the connector,keep it evenly aligned to avoid
