• Servicing
Except as explained elsewhere in the Compaq
documentation, do not service any Compaq
product yourself. Opening or removing covers
that are marked
may expose you to electric
shock. Service needed on components inside
these compartments should be done by a
Compaq authorized service provider.
• Mounting Accessories
Do not use the product on an unstable table, cart,
stand, tripod, or bracket. The product may fall,
causing serious bodily injury and serious damage
to the product. Use only with a table, cart, stand,
tripod, or bracket recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any
mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Ventilation
Slots and openings in the product are provided
for ventilation and should never be blocked or
covered since these ensure reliable operation of
the product and protect it from overheating. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the
product on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other similar
flexible surface. The product should not be
placed in a built-in apparatus such as a bookcase
or rack unless the apparatus has been specifically
designed to accommodate the product, proper
ventilation is provided for the product, and the
manufacturer’s instructions have been followed.
• Water and Moisture
Do not use the product in a wet location.
• Grounded (Earthed) Products
Some products are equipped with a three-wire
electrical grounding-type plug that has a third pin
for grounding. This plug only fits into a
grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety
feature. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug by trying to insert it into a
non-grounded outlet. If you cannot insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet.
• Power Sources
The product should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the product’s
electrical ratings label. If you have questions
about the type of power source to use, contact
your Compaq authorized service provider or
local power company. For a product that operates
from battery power or other power sources, refer
to the operating instructions included with the
product.
• Accessibility
Be sure that the power outlet you plug the power
cord into is easily accessible and located as close
to the equipment operator as possible. When you
need to disconnect power to the equipment, be
sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
• Power Cords
If you have not been provided with a power cord
for your unit or for any AC-powered option
intended for use with your unit, you should
purchase a power cord that is approved for use in
your country.
The power cord must be rated for the product and
for the voltage and current marked on the product’s
electrical ratings label. The voltage and current
rating of the cord should be greater than the voltage
and current rating marked on the product. In
addition, the diameter of the wire must be a
minimum of 0.75 mm
2
/ 18AWG and the cord
should be between 5 and 6.5 feet (1.5 and 2 meters)
long. If you have questions about the type of power
cord to use, contact your Compaq authorized
service provider.
Route the power cord so that it will not be walked
on, tripped over, or pinched by items placed upon
or against it. Pay particular attention to the plug,
electrical outlet, and the point where the cord exits
the product.
• Protective Attachment Plug
In some countries, the product cord set may be
equipped with a wall plug having overload
protection. This is a safety feature. If the plug
needs to be replaced, be sure the Compaq
authorized service provider uses a replacement
plug specified by the manufacturer as having the
same overload protection as the original plug.
