Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your
Booktop.
When Using Your Booktop M1022 Computer
CAUTION: Do not operate your portable computer for an
extended period of time with the base resting directly on
your body. With extended operation, heat can build up in the
base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin can cause
I
discomfort or a possible burn.
• Do not attempt to service the Booktop yourself. Always follow
installation instructions closely.
• 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 generate
extremely high temperature and may cause burns to your skin.
• 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.
• While you are using the computer or charging the battery, place the
AC adapter in a ventilated area, like on a desktop or on the floor.
Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that may
prevent ventilation. Also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside
a carrying case.
• Do not insert objects into the air vent of your Booktop computer.
Doing so can cause short-circuiting and may result in fire or
electrical shock.
• Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are supplied by your
Booktop manufacturer. Using other types of battery or AC adapter
may heighten the risk of fire or explosion.
• Incorrectly installed or placed batteries may result in an explosion.
• Replace only with the same or a compatible battery recommended
by the manufacturer.
• Please discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Before you connect your Booktop 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.
- 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 cord with your AC adapter, ensure that the
total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the extension cord
does not exceed its total capacity.
• When removing a battery from your Booktop, first turn off the
system, disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and
then remove the battery.
• To avoid risk of an electrical shock, do not connect or disconnect
any cables, or perform any maintenance or reconfiguration of this
product during a thunderstorm.
• Do not throw batteries into a fire, doing so may cause explosion.
Check with local authorities first for battery disposal instructions.
• When setting up your Booktop for work, place it on a level surface.
