Important notes
Additional safety notes for devices with
radio components
Radiocomponent :Bluetooth,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. petrol station, paintshops), as the
transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire.
For information on how to switch radio components on and off, see chapter
"Switching the wireless components on and off", Page 46.
Energy saving
NotesEnergyEnergysaving
Switch the notebook off when it is not in use. Switch off external, connected devices if you
are not using them. If you use the energy saving functions, the notebook uses less energy.
You will then be able to work for longer before having to recharge the battery.
Energy efficiency is increased and the environmental impact is reduced.
You save money while protecting the environment.
Energy saving under Windows
►Make use of the power management features (see "Using the power-management features",
Page 44).

Important notes
Travelling with your notebook
MobileoperationNotesTransporta tionNotebook
Please observe the points listed below when travelling with your notebook.
Before you travel
►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.
►Be sure that you only operate the notebook on aircraft when attendant has
announced that it is safe to do so.
When travelling in other countries
►If you are travelling 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 voltage converter!
►Check whether the local AC voltage and the power cable are compatible. If this is not
the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions.
►Enquire with the corresponding government office of the country you will be travelling in as to
whether you may operate the radio component integrated in your notebook there).
►Take the necessary plug adapters if you’re traveling overseas. Check the following diagram
to determine which plug adapter you’ll need or ask your travel agent.

Cleaning the notebook
Do not clean any interior parts yourself; leave this job to a service technician.
Only use cleaning products designed for computers. Normal household
cleaners and polishes can damage the markings on the keyboard and the
device, the paintwork or the notebook itself.
Ensure that no liquid enters the notebook.
The LCD screen is very sensitive to scratches. Only clean the display
surface with a very soft, slightly damp cloth.
►Switch the notebook off.
CleaningNotesNotebookKeyboardTouchpadLCDscreenCrystalView display
►In order to prevent accidentially switching the device on, remove the power cable from the AC
adapter and remove the battery (see "Removing and installing the battery", Page 37).
The surface can be cleaned with a dry cloth. If particularly dirty, use a cloth which
has been moistened and then carefully wrung out.
