HP Slate 21-s100 All-in-One - Manual (Page 28)

4 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines
Important Safety Information
A power cord is included with the all-in-one. If another cord is used, use only a power source and
connection appropriate for this all-in-one. For information on the correct power cord set to use with
the all-in-one, refer to the
Power Cord Set Requirements on page 31 .
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may
accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the
electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety and Comfort Guide. It describes proper
workstation, setup, posture, and health and work habits for computer users, and provides important
electrical and mechanical safety information. This guide is located on the Web at

ergo and/or on the documentation CD, if one is included with the all-in-one.
CAUTION: For the protection of the all-in-one, connect all power cords for the all-in-one and its
peripheral devices to some form of surge protection device such as a power strip or Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must be
specifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage
Replacement Policy so you can replace the equipment, if surge protection fails.
Use the appropriate and correctly sized furniture designed to properly support your HP all-in-one.
WARNING! All-in-ones that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause personal injury.
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the all-in-one so that they can not be
pulled, grabbed, or tripped over.
Maintenance guidelines
To enhance the performance and extend the life of the all-in-one:
● Do not open the all-in-one cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those
controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If the all-in-one is not operating properly
or has been dropped or damaged, contact an authorized HP dealer, reseller, or service provider.
● Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this all-in-one, as indicated on the label/
back plate of the all-in-one.
● Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the
current rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the
cord does not exceed the rating of the cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere
rating (AMPS or A) for each device.
