Service and Support

If your computer is malfunctioning but does not appear to be physically damaged, shut it
down (and leave the power adapter plugged in, if possible) until you can get help.

If you know or suspect that your computer is physically damaged, disconnect the power
adapter, remove the battery, and do not use the computer until it can be repaired.

Modem and Fax Safety

If you’re planning to install telephone wiring or telephone jacks, follow these precautions:
m Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
m Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jacks are specifically designed for

wet locations.

m Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected at the network interface.

m Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
m Avoid using a telephone, other than a cordless type, during an electrical storm. There may

be a remote risk of shock from lightning.

m Never use a telephone to report a gas leak while in the vicinity of the leak.
