Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when
you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC
adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the
AC adapter inside a carrying case.
Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub,
sink, or swimming pool or in a wet basement.
Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your computer. Doing so can
cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use with this com-
puter as indicated in this document. Use of another type of battery pack or AC
adapter may risk fire or explosion.
Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the voltage rat-
ing of the AC adapter matches that of the available power source:
— 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan
— 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan
— 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and peripheral power cables
into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with three-
prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or
remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable,
use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged into the extension cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
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, disconnect
the modem cable during an electrical storm 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 battery packs in a fire. They may explode. Check with local
authorities for disposal instructions.
When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.
