General
Preface
Before using the appliance for the first time, please carefully
read through the following instructions and note all warnings,
even if you are familiar with handling electronic equipment. Store
this manual in a safe place for future reference. If you sell or give
away the appliance, please ensure you handover this manual
too.
Operating Environment
Place the unit on a firm, level surface, and do not place any objects on
the unit. The appliance is not designed for use in rooms with a
high temperature or air humidity (e.g. bathrooms) or excessive
dust.
Please ensure that:
- no direct heat sources (e.g. heaters) act on the appliance
- the appliance is not exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light
- you avoid contact with splashing and dripping water and aggressive
liquids
- the appliance is not exposed to large temperature fluctuations, as
otherwise air humidity can condense
- the appliance is not exposed to excessive impacts and vibrations
- Do not place any fire (e.g. candlelights) onto or next to the device.
The unit must on be connected to a suitable mains power supply using
the mains power lead provided
The device will store your data on a media with a magnetic surface. For
II
Preface
this reason, keep the device away from sources that generate magnetic
and electromagnetic fields.
Power Supply
The unit still uses electricity in standby operation. In order to disconnect
the unit completely from the power supply, the plug must be removed
from the power supply socket. The unit should therefore be set up so
that direct and unimpeded access to the power supply socket is
possible at all times, and the plug can be removed immediately in the
event of an emergency. In order to prevent the risk of fire, the plug
should always be removed from the power supply socket during longer
periods of non-use, e.g. during holidays. Please disconnect the unit
from the power supply before storms and/or severe weather with the
risk of lightning strikes and disconnect the antenna plug. Use only
the power supply unit provided “KSAFK1900342T1M2” in order
to prevent the risk of overheating, housing deformation, fire,
electric shocks, explosions and other dangers. Never connect
the power supply unit to other devices.
Warning: The battery may explode if handled incorrectly! Do not
attempt to dismantle the battery, change the polarity, and under
no circumstances dispose of the battery in the fire! Keep the
battery away from children and dispose of it properly!
Incorrect replacement of the battery may create the risk of
explosion. Replace the battery only with an identical type or type
recommended by the manufacturer.
III
Preface
Keep environmental protection in mind! Used batteries must not
be disposed of as household waste! Used batteries must be
disposed of at an old battery collection point.
Caution! Risk of fire / explosion
This unit works with a high-quality Li-Ion rechargeable battery.
Under very unfavourable conditions, contact sparks may be
generated, which can ignite explosive or combustible vapours.
We therefore strongly recommend that the unit is not used in
dangerous areas such as filling stations, where the unit should
be switched off.
Cables
Always hold cables by the plug, and do not pull on the cable
itself. Never touch the power supply cable with wet hands, since
this may cause a short-circuit or electric shock. Never place the
unit itself, items of furniture or other heavy objects on cables,
and ensure that these do not become kinked, especially at the
plug and the connection sockets. Never tie a knot in a cable, and
do not tie it together with other cables. All cables should be laid
where they will not be trodden on or present an obstacle. A
damaged power supply cable can cause a fire or electric shock.
Check the power supply cable from time to time. Do not use any
adapter plugs or extension cables which do not comply with the
applicable safety standards, and do not make any modifications
to the power supply cables!
IV
Maintenance and Care
Preface
Maintenance work is required if the unit has been damaged, e.g.
if the plug, power supply cable or housing have been damaged,
liquids or foreign objects have got into the unit, if it has been
exposed to rain or damp, or if it does not work properly or has
been dropped. If you notice any smoke, unusual noises or
smells, switch the unit off immediately, and remove the plug
from the power supply socket. In such cases, the unit should not
be used until it has been checked by a specialist. Maintenance
work should be carried out only by qualified specialist personnel.
Never open the housing of the unit, the power supply adapter or
the accessories. With the housing open, there is a risk of
possibly fatal injury from electric shock. Clean the unit only with
a clean, dry cloth, and never use any aggressive fluids. Do not
open your notebook! Hardware modifications and repairs should
be carried out only by qualified specialist, service or
maintenance personnel! The CD drive of this unit is classified as
a “Class 1 Laser Product”, and designated accordingly by a
sticker on the housing. Never open the device, and do not
attempt to carry out repairs yourself. Invisible laser radiation is
present inside the device. Do not expose yourself to the laser
beam. Do not attempt to open the housing of the device.
Otherwise you will lose your warranty.

Intended Use
This unit is an electronic entertainment device. It may be used
only for private purposes, and not for industrial or commercial
purposes. This product is not intended for use in medical,
life-saving or life-preserving applications. It may be used for
VI
Preface
domestic, office or small business applications (to EN
61000-6-1/EN 61000-6-3). This includes games,
communications and office applications amongst others. The
unit should also not be used outside closed rooms or in tropical
climatic regions. The unit should only be used in combination
with connection cables and external devices which conform to
the unit with regard to safety, electromagnetic compatibility and
screening quality. This unit complies with all relevant norms and
standards in connection with CE conformity. In the event of
modifications to the unit not approved by the manufacturer,
compliance with these standards is no longer guaranteed. Use
only the accessories specified by the manufacturer. If using the
unit outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the national
regulations and laws of the country of use must be observed.
Our notebooks comply with the safety standard EN60950 for IT
products. For ergonomic reasons, and to prevent overheating of
the unit due to blockage of the ventilation slots, the notebook
should not be placed on the knees during use. Ensure when
connecting peripheral devices that the cables are not too short,
and that no mechanical stress is placed on the connection plugs!
When connecting the unit to an antenna system, adequate
protection against over-voltage and static discharge must be
ensured by proper earthing. Only use the unit with the trolley,
stand, holder or cable specified by the manufacturer or supplied
with the unit. If placing the unit on a trolley, take care to prevent
VII
Preface
the unit tipping over. Take care in the use of your hard disk.
Observe the specified precautionary measures, so that your
hard disk is not damaged and your guarantee invalidated.
Damage to the hard disk can lead to the loss of data.
Noise Abatement
- Legal regulations specify a maximum noise limit of 100 dB.
(France only: Articles 44.5 and 44.6 of public health regulations,
amended by Article 2 of the law of 28th May 1996 specify a
maximum noise limit of 100 dB.) When using other headphones,
hearing damage may be caused by increased noise levels.
- Using the loudspeakers/headphones at higher volume may
damage your hearing and cause noise pollution.
- In dangerous situations, the noise may impair your attention or
mean that you are no longer aware of what is going on around
you.
RF Interface
• Switch the unit off when you are in an aeroplane, when driving
a car, or when in a hospital, operating room or in the vicinity of
any medical electronic systems. The radio waves transmitted
can impair the function of sensitive devices.
• Always keep the unit at least 20 cm away from a heart
pacemaker, since the proper function of the heart pacemaker
could be impaired by radio waves.
