• If you use an extension cord with your AC adapter, ensure that
the total ampere rating of the products plugged into the extension
cord does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
• When using your power cord, make sure to position it around
objects so it will not be cut or punctured.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector on its strain
relief loop, 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.
• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable
and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or
stepped on.
• Use only the AC adapters that are approved for use with this
computer. Use of another type of adapter may risk fire or
explosion.
• Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that
the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available
power source.
- 115 V�60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan.
- 100 V�50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V�60Hz in western
Japan.
- 230 V�50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far
East.
- If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure
that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the
extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the
extension cable.
• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desktop or
on the floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge the
battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items
that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is
inside a carrying case.
• Disconnect power cords and cables by grasping the connector,
not by pulling on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector,
keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins.
Before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are
correctly aligned.
• To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the
battery, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
Battery Pack Warnings
- Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container
where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the
battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause
extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from
burns.
- Danger of explosion may occur if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery
recommended by the manufacturer.
- Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check
with local authorities for disposal instructions.
- Do not use or leave the battery pack near a heat source. Heat can
melt the insulation and damage other safety features, possibly
leading it to leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and�or ignite.
- Do not immerse the battery pack in water or allow it to get wet.
Its protective features can be damaged. Abnormal chemical
reactions may occur, possibly leading it to leak acid, overheat,
emit smoke, burst and�or ignite.
