Basic safety precautions
When using your tablet and peripheral devices, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
■ Do not use this product near water. For example, do not use it near a
bathtub or kitchen sink.
■ Avoid using the wired modem or LAN during an electrical storm. There
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
■ The cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum
wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11
modular plug.
■ To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or
disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this
product during an electrical storm.
Warning When working with peripheral devices or replacing
memory modules, always follow installation instructions
closely. Except for replacing memory, do not attempt to
service the tablet yourself. (See “Using eSupport” on
page 52 and “Telephone support” on page 263 for service
information.)
