Read and follow all instructions marked on the product and in the documentation before you
operate your system. Retain all safety and operating instructions for future use.
Do not use this product near water or a heat source such as a radiator.
Make sure you set up the system on a stable work surface.
The product should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the rating
label.
If your computer has a voltage selector switch, ensure that the switch is in the proper position
for your area. The voltage selector switch is set at the factory to the correct voltage.
Openings in the computer case are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these
openings. Make sure you provide adequate space, at least 6 inches (15 cm), around the system
for ventilation when you set up your work area. Never insert objects of any kind into the
computers ventilation slots.
Some products are equipped with a three wire power cord to ensure that the product is properly
grounded when in use. The plug on this cord will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This
is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician to
install the appropriate outlet.
If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure that the total ampere rating on the
products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
If your system is fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card, make sure that the
antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to prevent against voltage surges and build
up of static charges.
Care during use
Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.
Do not spill anything on the system. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking
near your system.
Some products have a replaceable CMOS battery on the system board. There is a danger of
explosion if the CMOS battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of batteries according to the
manufacturers instructions.
When the computer is turned off, a small amount of electrical current still flows through the
computer. Always unplug all power cables and modem cables from the wall outlets before
cleaning the system.
Unplug the system from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel if:
The power cord or plug is damaged.
Liquid has been spilled into the system.
The system does not operate properly when the operating instructions are followed.
The system was dropped or the cabinet is damaged.
The systems performance changes.
