Safety Instructions Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your computer. For comfort and efficiency, observe the ergonomic guidelines in “Sitting Comfortably at Your Computer” in the Tell Me How help file. When Using Your Computer CAUTION: 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. • 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 flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from burns. • Be sure that nothing 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. • Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool or in a wet basement. • Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components. • Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use with this computer as indicated in this document. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may risk fire or explosion. Safety Instr uctions 7
• 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 South Korea and 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 – – • To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and external device power cables into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs. • 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. • To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet. • If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, disconnect the modem cable during an electrical storm to avoid the remote risk of electric shock from lightning via the telephone line. • To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm. • PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their continuous operation. • Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local authorities for disposal instructions. • When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface. • When traveling, do not check the computer as baggage. You can put your computer through an X-ray security machine, but never put your computer through a metal detector. If you have the computer checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are asked to turn on the computer. m o c . l l e d . t r o p p u s | m o c . l l e d . w w w 8 Safety Instr uctions
