Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your
notebook.
When Using Your Ultra Thin Notebook 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 notebook 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 notebook computer.
Doing so can cause short-circuit and may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
• Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are supplied by your
notebook manufacturer. Using other types of batteries 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 that is
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Please discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Before you connect your notebook 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 & Far East, and Africa.
• 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 notebook, 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 notebook for work, place it on a level
surface.
