Basic safety precautions

When using your notebook and peripheral devices, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury
to persons, including the following:
Do not use your notebook near water. For example, do not use it near a
bathtub or kitchen sink.
Avoid using the wired modem or LAN during an electrical storm. There
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
The cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum
wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11
modular plug.
To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or
disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of your
notebook during an electrical storm.
