Safety Precautions for Docking Devices

Avoid unstable mounting: Do not place a monitor with an unstable base or a monitor heavier than

25 kilograms (55 pounds) on top of a monitor stand, unless the monitor stand is marked for use with a heavier monitor. Instead, place the monitor on a work surface next to the docking device.

Safety Precautions for Products with Wireless Devices

WARNING! Exposure to radio frequency radiation. The radiated output power of wireless devices is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna should not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

Safety Precautions for Products with Modems, Telecommunications or Local Area Network Accessories

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons when using this device, always follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

Do not use this product near water–for example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool.

Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Do not use this product to report a gas leak while in the vicinity of the leak.

Always disconnect the modem cable before opening the equipment enclosure or touching an uninsulated modem cable, jack, or internal component.

If this product was not provided with a telephone line cord, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord in order to reduce the risk of fire.

Do not plug a modem or telephone cable into the RJ-45 (network) jack.

Safety Precautions for Products with Laser Devices

WARNING! In addition to the general precautions described earlier in this section, be sure to observe the following precautions when operating a product equipped with a laser device. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire, bodily injury, and damage to the equipment.

For information about laser equipment repair, call Customer Care.
