• The AC adapter may become hot during normal
operation of your computer. Use care when handling
the adapter during or immediately after operation.
• Do not allow your mobile workstation 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 exposed skin can cause
discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
• Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for
example, near a bathtub, 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-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.
• PC Cards may become very warm during normal
operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their
continuous operation.
• Before you clean your computer, remove power. Clean
your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may
contain flammable substances.
