Power Cords

If you were not provided with a power cord for your computer or for an AC power
accessory intended for use with your computer, you should purchase a power cord
that is approved for use in your country.
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current
marked on the product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of
the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the
product. In addition, the diameter of the wire must be a minimum of 0.75 mm
AWG, and the length of the cord must be between 5 feet (1.5 m) and 6.5 feet (2 m).
If you have questions about the type of power cord to use, contact your Compaq-
Authorized Service Provider.
A power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon it or against it. Particular attention should be paid to the plug,
electrical outlet, and the point where the cord exits from the product.

Laser Assemblies

All Compaq systems equipped with CD drives comply with appropriate safety
standards including IEC 825. In addition, the equipment complies with laser
product performance standards set by government agencies as a Class 1 laser
product. The equipment does not emit hazardous radiation; the beam is totally
enclosed during all modes of customer operation and maintenance.

CDRH Regulations

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2,
1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured since August 1,
1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States.
