Caution: Safety Instructions 13
SAFETY: Air Travel
• Certain Federal Aviation Administration regulations and/or airline-specific restrictions
may apply to the operation of your Dell device while you are on board an aircraft.
For example, such regulations/restrictions may prohibit the use of any personal
electronic device (PED) that has the capacity for intentional transmission of radio
frequency or other electromagnetic signals while on an aircraft.
– In order to best comply with all such restrictions, if your Dell portable device is
equipped with Dell TrueMobile™ or some other wireless communication device,
please disable this device before you board the aircraft and follow all instructions
provided by airline personnel with regard to such device.
– Additionally, the use of any PED, such as a portable device, may be prohibited in
aircraft during certain critical phases of flight, for example, takeoff and landing.
Some airlines may further define the critical flight phase as any time the aircraft
is below 3050 m (10,000 ft). Please follow the airline’s specific instructions as to
when the use of a PED is allowed.
SAFETY: Electromagnetic Compatibility Instructions
Use shielded signal cables to ensure that you maintain the appropriate electromagnetic
compatibility classification for the intended environment. For parallel printers, a cable is
available from Dell. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell at its worldwide website at
www.dell.com.
Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your device. To prevent static
damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your device’s
electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted
metal surface.
WARNING: Handling the cord on this product, or cords associated with accessories sold
with this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to
cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash your hands after handling the cord.
When Using Your Device
Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to prevent damage to your device:
• When setting up the device for work, place it on a level surface.
• When traveling, do not check the device as baggage. You can put your device through
an X-ray security machine, but never put your device through a metal detector. If you
have the device checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case
you are asked to turn on the device.
• When traveling, do not place the device in overhead storage compartments where it
could slide around. Do not drop your device or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
• Protect your device and battery from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food,
liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
