Safety instructions

Observe the following safety instructions when using your system:
Warning
Follow all instructions marked on the system and in the documentation.
When the computer is turned off, a small amount of electrical current
still runs through the computer. Always unplug the computer from the
electrical outlet and disconnect the modem cable (if installed) before
cleaning the system or removing the computer cover.
Do not use this product near water or a heat source, such as a radiator
or heat register.
Do not spill anything on or into the system. The best way to avoid spills
is to avoid eating and drinking near your system.
Make sure you set up the system on a stable work surface.
Openings in the computer case are provided for ventilation. Do not block
or cover these openings. Make sure you provide adequate space (at least
12 inches) around the system for ventilation when you set up your work
area. Never insert objects of any kind into the computer ventilation slots.
Use the voltage setting for your location. The voltage selector switch is
set at the factory to the correct voltage.
This system is equipped with a 3-wire power cord to ensure that the
product is properly grounded when in use. The plug will only fit into a
grounding-type outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet,
contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet.
Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.
If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure the total ampere
ratings on the products plugged into the extension cord do not exceed
the extension cord ampere rating. Also, the total ampere requirements
for all products plugged into the wall outlet must not exceed 15 amperes.
