•
When traveling, do not place the computer in overhead storage compartments
where it could slide around. Do not drop your computer or subject it to other
mechanical shocks.
•
Protect your computer, battery, and hard-disk drive from environmental hazards
such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to
sunlight.
•
When you move your computer between environments with very different
temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the
computer. To avoid damaging the computer, allow sufficient time for the moisture
to evaporate before using the computer.
NOTICE: When taking the computer from low-temperature conditions into
a warmer environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler
environment, allow the computer to acclimate to room temperature before
turning on power.
•
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not
on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid
bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both
connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
•
Handle components with care.
•
Before you clean your computer, turn it off, unplug it from its power source, and
remove the battery pack(s).
•
Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with
liquid or aerosol cleaners.
•
Clean the display with a soft, clean cloth and commercial window cleaner that
does not contain wax or abrasives. Apply the cleaner to the cloth; then stroke the
cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the
bottom. If the display contains grease or some other contaminant, use isopropyl
alcohol instead of commercial window cleaner.
•
If your computer gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures described in
"Troubleshooting Your Computer" in the User's Guide. If, after following these
procedures, you confirm that your computer is not operating properly, contact
Dell. (See "Getting Help" in the User's Guide for the appropriate telephone
number.)

Connecting the AC Adapter

NOTE: A partially charged battery is already installed in the computer, but Dell recom-
mends that you attach the AC adapter now so that the battery can complete its charge
and the operating system setup can proceed without interruption.
To connect your computer to the AC adapter, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the AC adapter's attached cable into the AC adapter connector on the com-
puter (see Figure 2-1).
