To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery pack, and dis-
connect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, 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.
If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, disconnect
the modem cable if an electrical storm approaches to avoid the remote risk of
electric shock from lightning via the telephone line.
To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect
any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an
electrical storm.
PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when
removing PC Cards after their continuous operation.
Do not dispose of your computer's lithium-ion battery packs in a fire or along with
household waste. They may explode. Discard used batteries according to the
manufacturers instructions or contact you local waste disposal agency for dis-
posal instructions.
Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with
liquid or aerosol cleaners which may contain flammable substances.

Preparing to Work Inside Your Computer

Observe the following safety guidelines when working inside your computer.
NOTICE: The only time you should ever access the inside of your computer
is when you are installing memory modules.
NOTICE: Wait 5 seconds after turning off the computer before disconnecting
a device or removing a memory module to help prevent possible damage
to the system board.
NOTE: For full instructions, see the User's Guide.
Turn off your computer and any attached peripherals.
Disconnect your computer and any attached peripherals from electrical outlets to
reduce the potential for personal injury or shock.
If the computer is docked, undock it.
Disconnect any peripherals attached to your computer, including telephone or
telecommunication lines.
Remove the main battery from the battery bay and, if necessary, the secondary
battery from the modular bay.
Ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal surface of an input/output (I/O)
connector on the back of the computer.
While you work, periodically touch the I/O panel to dissipate any static electricity
that might harm internal components.
