General Safety Precautions

In order to ensure your safety and the safety of your computer, we ask
you to carefully follow these safety precautions.
● After removing the computer from the box, please ensure that all
packaging materials are kept out of the reach of small children as
I
they can cause a potential choking hazard. The packaging materials
should be safely stored away in the event that it may be used again
for safe transportation of the computer.
● Ensure that the AC Adapter and power cable are placed in a safe
area where it cannot be tripped over or stepped on. The AC Adapter
should be situated in a well ventilated area and should have nothing
resting on or covering it.
● Before turning on the computer, ensure that it is placed on a level
surface with at least 10 cm of clearance around the air vents, which
will aid in proper cooling.
● Do not obstruct the air vents of the computer and do not insert any
foreign objects into this space. Doing this may cause a short circuit
or may cause the CPU fan to malfunction, resulting in the risk of a
fire or electric shock. This may eventually render permanent damage
to the computer.
● Do note press or touch the display panel.
● Only use the AC Adapter that is provided with the computer or
that which is recommended by the manufacturer. Using non-
recommended or non-approved parts may cause damage or increase
the risk of a fire or explosion. In the event that another AC Adapter is
required, advice should be sought from a GIGABYTE service agent,
in order to make sure that the correct part is recommended.
● Before connecting the computer to the power outlet, make sure that
the voltage rating of the AC Adapter is compatible with the power
specification in the country where you are located. A detailed list of
the power specification for different countries can be found on Page
21~24.
● When using an extension cord, please make sure that the total sum
of ampere ratings for all connected devices does not exceed the total
ampere capacity for the circuit.
● Never attempt to repair or service the computer yourself. Please
refer all repairs and services to qualified service personnel at a
GIGABYTE Authorized Service Center.

Usage Tips

● When unplugging the power connector from the computer, please
hold and pull on the connector or the strain relief loop to disconnect.
Do not pull the power cord itself as this can cause damage to the
cable or the computer.
● In the event of an electrical storm, please disconnect the computer
from the power source and unplug any network or telephone cables
that may be connected to the computer.
● Do not use the computer near water sources, like bathtubs, washing
basins, kitchen or laundry sinks or swimming pools. Liquid that can
spill onto the computer by accident can cause electric shock to you
and damage to the computer.
