Protecting from power source problems
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your
notebook can increase to far above normal levels and cause data loss or
system damage. Protect your notebook and peripheral devices by
connecting them to a surge protector, which absorbs voltage surges and
prevents them from reaching your notebook.
Warning High voltages can enter your notebook through
both the power cord and the modem connection.
To protect your notebook and avoid electrical
shock, use a surge protector. If you have a
telephone modem, use a surge protector that has
a modem jack. If you have a cable modem, use a
surge protector that has an antenna/cable TV jack.
During an electrical storm, unplug both the surge
protector and the modem.
