Important notes
Additional safety notes for devices with
radio components
Radiocomponent sWirelessLANBluetooth,Safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireless LAN / Bluetooth) is integrated in your notebook, you must
be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your notebook:
• Switch off the radio components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
• Switch off the radio components when you are in a hospital, an operating room or near a medical
electronics system. The transmitted radio waves can impair the operation of medical devices.
• Switch off the radio components, when you let the device get near flammable gases
or into hazardous environments (e.g. gas station, paintshops), as the transmitted
radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire.
For further information on how to switch the radio components on and off, refer
to chapter "Switching the wireless components on and off", Page 44.
Energy saving
NotesEnergyPowersaving
Switch the notebook off when it is not in use. Switch off any connected external devices when
they are not in use. If you use the energy saving functions, the notebook uses less power. You
will then be able to work for longer before having to recharge the battery.
The energy efficiency is increased and environmental pollution is reduced.
You save money and help protect the environment.
Energy saving under Windows
►Make use of the available energy saving functions as described in chapter
"Using the energy saving functions", Page 42.

Important notes
Before you travel
►Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
NotebookTraveling,notebo ok
►Switch off the radio component for data security reasons. With data traffic via a wireless
connection, it is also possible for unauthorized third parties to receive data.
Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation
for your radio component.
►If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, check with the flight attendants if its use is safe.
When traveling in other countries
►If you are traveling abroad, check that the AC adapter can be operated with the local AC
voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate AC adapter for your notebook.
Do not use any other converter!
►Check whether the local AC voltage and the AC cable are compatible. If this is not
the case, buy an AC cable that suits the local conditions.
►Enquire with the corresponding government office of the country you will be traveling to,
whether you may use your notebook with its integrated radio component there.
►Take the necessary travel adapters with you when traveling abroad. Check the following
table to see which travel adapters you will need, or ask your travel organizer.
