Protecting from power source problems

During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your
convertible tablet PC can increase to far above normal levels and cause
data loss or system damage. Protect your convertible tablet PC and
peripheral devices by connecting them to a surge protector, which absorbs
voltage surges and prevents them from reaching your convertible tablet
PC.
Warning
26
High voltages can enter your convertible tablet PC through
both the power cord and the modem connection. To protect
your convertible tablet PC 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.
