CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunications line cord to connect a modem to the telephone wall
jack. In Australia, the notebook must be connected to the
Telecommunication Network through a line cord that meets the
requirements of ACA Technical Standard TS008.
When using your notebook with a telephone connection, always
follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, and injury to persons.
Do not use this product with a telephone connection near
water (for example, near a bathtub, sink, or swimming pool,

Avoid using a telephone connection (other than a cordless
type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk
of electrical shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone connection to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.
Use only the power cord and battery packs indicated in this
guide. Do not dispose of battery packs in a fire. They may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal
