Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your Myou S1024 Computer.
When Using Your Myou S1024 Computer
CAUTION: Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with the base
resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can build up in the base. Allowing
sustained contact with the skin can cause discomfort or a burn.
Do not attempt to service the Myou S1024 Computer yourself. Always follow installation
instructions closely.
Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car
keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current ow can generate
extremely high temperature and may cause burns to your skin.
Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not located
where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
While you are using the computer or charging the battery, place the AC adapter in a ventilated
area, like on a desktop or on the oor. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that
may prevent ventilation. Also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.
Do not insert objects into the air vent of your Myou S1024 Computer. Doing so can cause short-
circuiting and may result in re or electrical shock.

- 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
If you use an extension cord with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of all
devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed its total capacity.
When removing battery from your Myou S1024 Computer, rst turn off the system, disconnect the
AC adapter from the electrical outlet, then remove the battery.
