General Safety Instructions
For your own safety and that of your equipment, always take the following precautions.
Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cord), remove the battery, and
disconnect the phone cord if any of the following conditions exists:
• You want to remove any parts.
• The power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
• You spill something into the case.
• Your computer is exposed to rain or any other excess moisture.
• Your computer has been dropped or the case has been otherwise damaged.
• You suspect that your computer needs service or repair.
• You want to clean the case (use only the recommended procedure described earlier).
Important: The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the power cord
and phone cord, and remove the battery. Make sure at least one end of the power cord
is within easy reach so that you can unplug the computer when you need to.
Be sure that you always do the following:
• Keep your computer away from sources of liquids, such as drinks, washbasins,
bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on.
• Protect your computer from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and so on.
• Read all the installation instructions carefully before you plug your computer into a
wall socket.
• Keep these instructions handy for reference by you and others.
• Follow all instructions and warnings dealing with your system.
Important: Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operation of this
product, or similar products, must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow
children access to the interior of any electrical product and do not permit them to
handle any cables.
Warning: Your AC cord came equipped with a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that
has a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. If you are
unable to insert the plug into an outlet because the outlet is not grounded, use the
AC plug that came with your adapter, or contact a licensed electrician to replace the
outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding
plug.
Warning: Never push objects of any kind into this product through the openings in
the case. Doing so may be dangerous and may result in fire or electric shock.
