Important notes
Additional safety notes for devices with
radio components
Radiocomponent :WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, LTE) 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 40.

not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions.
► Contact the relevant authorities of the country you will be travelling in as to
whether you may operate the radio component integrated into your notebook
computer. Please observe the additional safety instructions for devices with radio
components, found in the handbook “Safety/formalities”.
Notebook: transporting
Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures
(e.g. direct sunlight in a car).
