Use a grounding plug to prevent electrical shorts, shocks, or
fires.
Use a surge protector to regulate the flow of electricity to the
computer, modem, and all peripherals, such as a printer,
speakers, and monitor.

Safety
Your computer is an
electrical device. Treat it
with care to avoid personal
injury and damage to the
equipment.
Warning
To reduce the risk of electric
shock and damage to the
equipment, read the Safety and
Comfort Guide on the My
Presario—Learning More CD
before performing any
procedures involving the
internal components of your
computer.
Did you know ...
For added protection during an
electrical storm, perform a
shutdown, then disconnect your
computer (and all peripherals)
from the power source (wall
outlet). After shutting down
your computer, unplug the
surge protector(s) from the
power source.
Don’t forget to plug your surge
protector(s) back in after the
storm has passed.
