Air Travel; Emc Instructions - Dell X300 System Information Manual

CAUTION: Safety Instructions (continued)

Air Travel

• Certain Federal Aviation Administration regulations and/or airline-specific restrictions
may apply to the operation of your Dell computer while you are on board an aircraft.
For example, such regulations/restrictions may prohibit the use of any personal electronic
device (PED) that has the capacity for intentional transmission of radio frequency or
other electromagnetic signals while on an aircraft.
– In order to best comply with all such restrictions, if your Dell portable computer
is equipped with Dell TrueMobile™ or some other wireless communication device,
please disable this device before you board the aircraft and follow all instructions
provided by airline personnel with regard to such device.
– Additionally, the use of any PED, such as a portable computer, may be prohibited
in aircraft during certain critical phases of flight, for example, takeoff and landing.
Some airlines may further define the critical flight phase as any time the aircraft is
below 3050 m (10,000 ft). Please follow the airline's specific instructions as to when
the use of a PED is allowed.

EMC Instructions

Use shielded signal cables to ensure that you maintain the appropriate electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) classification for the intended environment. For parallel printers,
a cable is available from Dell. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell at its worldwide
website at www.dell.com.
Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your computer. To prevent static
damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's
electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted
metal surface on the computer's input/output panel.
