Safety Precautions - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from the PC chassis
before manual handling. Do not touch any components on the CPU card or
other cards while the PC is powered on.
Disconnect the power before making any configuration changes. A sudden rush
of power after connecting a jumper or installing a card may damage sensitive
electronic components.
Battery Information
Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of as unsorted
household waste. Please use the public collection system to return, recycle, or treat
them in compliance with local regulations.
Do not replace the battery with a substandard battery of incorrect type (i.e.,
some lithium battery types) (用不合格的電池替換可能會破壞安全的電池)
Do not attempt to dispose of the battery by throwing it into a fire or hot oven, or
by crushing or cutting it open as this can cause an explosion (將電池投入火中或
熱烤箱中，或將其機械破碎或切割，可能導致爆炸)
Leaving the battery in environments with extremely high temperatures can
cause an explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas (將電池放置在極端高
溫的環境中，可能導致爆炸或易燃液體或氣體洩漏)
