Safety information

The construction of the IBM Aptiva Personal Computer provides
extra protection against the risk of electrical shock. The IBM Aptiva
PC has a power cord with a three-prong plug that is required to
ground metal parts. It is the responsibility of the person installing
the computer to connect it to a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension
cord; these devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet that is incorrectly
connected to the building wiring, serious electrical shock could
result.
FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST THE RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK:
Connect your computer only to an electrical outlet of the
correct voltage. If you are unsure about the voltage of the
electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power
company.
If your computer has cables other than the power cords, you
must connect them before plugging the power cords into an
electrical outlet. Before removing these cables, you must first
unplug the power cords from the outlet.
In the UK, by law, the telephone line cable must be
connected after the power cord.
Note:
In the UK, by law, the power cord must be
disconnected after the telephone line cable.
