55899BK1.BK : 55899si1.fm Page v Wednesday, February 4, 1998 1:20 PM Safety Instructions Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help ensure your own personal safety. When Using Your Computer As you use your computer, observe the following safety guidelines: • When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface. • When traveling, do not check the computer as bag- gage. 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. • When traveling with the hard-disk drive removed from the computer, wrap the drive in a nonconducting material, such as cloth or paper. If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive in the computer. You can put the hard-disk drive through an X-ray security machine, but never put the drive through a metal detector. • When traveling, do not place the computer in over- head storage compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your computer or subject it to other mechanical shocks. • 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 result- ing excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from burns. • Protect your computer, battery, and hard-disk drive from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight. • When you move your computer between environ- ments with very different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the computer. To avoid damaging the com- puter, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the computer. CAUTION: When taking the computer from low-temperature conditions into a warmer environment or from high-temperature condi- tions into a cooler environment, allow the computer to acclimate to room temperature before turning on power. • If using alternating current (AC) power, plug the AC adapter power cable into a properly grounded power source. Be sure that nothing rests on your adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on. • When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are cor- rectly oriented and aligned. • Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely. • Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory module by its edges, not its pins. • When removing a memory module from the system board or disconnecting a peripheral device from the v
55899BK1.BK : 55899si1.fm Page vi Wednesday, February 4, 1998 1:20 PM • • • computer, wait 5 seconds after turning off the com- puter before removing the memory module or disconnecting the device to help avoid possible dam- age to the system board. Before you clean your computer, turn it off, unplug it from its power source, and remove the battery. Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with liquid or aerosol cleaners. Clean the display with a soft, clean cloth and com- mercial window cleaner that does not contain wax or abrasives. Apply the cleaner to the cloth; then stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom. If the dis- play contains grease or some other contaminant, use isopropyl alcohol instead of commercial window cleaner. If your computer gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures described in Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting Your Computer.” If, after following these procedures, you confirm that your computer is not operating prop- erly, contact Dell Computer Corporation. (See Chapter 5, “Getting Help,” for the appropriate tele- phone number.) Ergonomic Computing Habits WARNING: Improper or prolonged keyboard use may result in injury. For comfort and efficiency, observe the following ergo- nomic guidelines when setting up and using your computer: • Position your computer directly in front of you as you work. • Adjust the tilt of the computer’s display, its contrast and/or brightness settings, and the lighting around you (such as overhead lights, desk lamps, and the curtains or blinds on nearby windows) to minimize reflections and glare on the display. • When using an external monitor with your computer, set the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance (usually 510 to 610 millimeters [20 to 24 inches] from your eyes). Make sure the monitor screen is at eye level or slightly lower when you are sitting in front of the monitor. • Use a chair that provides good lower-back support. • Keep your forearms horizontal with your wrists in a neutral, comfortable position while using the key- board, trackball, touch pad, or external mouse. • Always use the palmrest with the keyboard, touch pad, or trackball. Leave space to rest your hands when using an external mouse. Let your upper arms hang naturally at your sides. Sit erect with your feet resting on the floor and your thighs level. • • • When sitting, make sure the weight of your legs is on your feet and not on the front of your chair seat. Adjust your chair’s height or use a footrest, if neces- sary, to maintain proper posture. • Vary your work activities. Try to organize your work so that you do not have to type for extended periods of time. When you stop typing, try to do things that use both hands. When Removing or Installing Memory Modules Before removing or installing memory modules, perform the following steps in the sequence indicated. CAUTION: The only time you should ever access the inside of your computer is when you are install- ing memory modules. Wait 5 seconds after turning off the computer before disconnecting a peripheral device or remov- ing a memory module to help prevent possible damage to the system board. vi
55899BK1.BK : 55899si1.fm Page vii Wednesday, February 4, 1998 1:20 PM computer positioned directly in front of user wrists relaxed and flat arms at desk level 1. Turn off your computer and any attached peripherals. 2. Disconnect your computer and peripherals from AC power to reduce the potential for personal injury or shock. Also, disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer. 3. Remove the main battery from the battery com- partment and, if necessary, the secondary battery from the options bay. 4. Ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal surface of the I/O panel on the back of the computer. While you work, periodically touch the I/O panel to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components. Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your computer. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer’s I/O panel. As you continue to work inside the computer, periodi- cally touch an I/O connector to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated. You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD): • When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component. Just before unwrap- ping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body. • When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging. • Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads. The following caution may appear throughout this docu- ment to remind you of these precautions: CAUTION: See “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” in the safety instructions at the front of this guide. vii
