Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your
computer.
When Using Your Computer
■ Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow
installation instructions closely.
■ Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where
metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery
terminals. The resulting excessive current follow can cause extremely
high temperatures and may result in damage from burns.
■ Be sure that noting rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the
cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
■ 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 while it is inside a carrying
case.
■ Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use with
this computer. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may risk fire
or explosion.
■ Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the
voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power
source. 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as Taiwan. 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and
100 V/60 Hz in western Japan. 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the
Middle East, and the Far East.
■ If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the
total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable
does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with
the base resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can
potentially build up in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin
could cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
