Safety and Use Instr u ctions
As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an I/O
connector to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD):
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping
carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing
material until you are ready to install the component. Just before
unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static
electricity from your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
container or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
The following notice may appear throughout this document to remind you
of these precautions:
NOTICE: See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety
instructions at the front of this guide.

Battery Disposal

Your computer uses a lithium-ion battery and a nickel-metal hydride
(NiMH) coin-cell battery. For instructions about replacing the lithium-ion
battery in your computer, refer to the section about replacing the battery in
your Dell computer documentation. The coin-cell battery is a long-life
battery, and it is very possible that you will never need to replace it.
However, should you need to replace it, the procedure must be performed
by an authorized service technician.
Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact your
local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit
site.
