■ Never connect the built-in modem to the digital connector on a
public telephone or to a digital private branch exchange (PBX).

Cooling vents The cooling vents help keep the processor from
overheating.

screws, staples and paper clips, out of the cooling vents. Foreign metal
objects can create a short circuit, which can cause damage and fire,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
