Safety instructions
Certain precautions should be observed to further reduce the risk of personal
injury or damage to your convertible tablet PC.
General tips
■ When setting up your convertible tablet PC for work, place it on a level
surface.
■ Before you clean your convertible tablet PC, turn if off, unplug it from its
power source, and remove the battery. For more information, see “Cleaning
your convertible tablet PC” on page 237.
■ Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your convertible
tablet PC. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior
components.
■ When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector, not on the cable itself.
As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending
any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both
connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
■ Use of mobile phones can interfere with the sound system. Your
convertible tablet PC operation is not impaired but we recommend that a
distance of 12 inches (30 cm) be maintained between your convertible
tablet PC and the mobile phone.
■ When you move your convertible tablet PC between environments with
very different humidity or temperature ranges, condensation may form on
or within your convertible tablet PC. To avoid damaging your convertible
tablet PC, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using
your convertible tablet PC.
■ When traveling, do not check your convertible tablet PC as baggage. You
can put your convertible tablet PC through an X-ray security machine, but
never put your convertible tablet PC through a metal detector. If you have
your convertible tablet PC checked by hand, be sure to have a charged
battery available in case you are asked to turn on your convertible
tablet PC. For more information, see “Traveling With Your Gateway M275”
on page 173.
■ When traveling, do not place your convertible tablet PC in overhead
storage compartments where it could slide around. For more information,
see “Traveling With Your Gateway M275” on page 173.
