Important Warnings
Avoid Electrical Shocks
WARNING To avoid electrical shock, do not open the power supply. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside.
To avoid electrical shock and harm to your eyes by laser light, do not
open the laser module. The laser module should only be serviced by
service personnel. Do not attempt to make any adjustment to the laser
unit. Refer to the label on the CD-ROM for power requirements and
wavelength. This product is a class I laser product.
Electrical Connection
WARNING For your safety always connect equipment to a grounded wall outlet.
Always use a power cord with a properly grounded plug, such as the one
provided with the equipment, or one in compliance with your national
safety standards. This equipment can be disconnected from the power by
removing the power cord from the power outlet. This means the
equipment must be located close to an easily accessible power outlet.
Multimedia Models
WARNING If your PC is a multimedia model, or if you have installed an audio card in
your PC, always turn the volume down before connecting the
headphones or speakers. This avoids discomfort from unexpected noise
or static. Listening to loud sounds for prolonged periods of time may
permanently damage your hearing. Before putting on headphones, place
them around your neck and turn the volume down. When you put the
headphones on, slowly increase the volume until you find a comfortable
listening level. When you are able to hear comfortably and clearly,
without distortion, leave the volume in that position.
Removing and Replacing the Cover
WARNING For your safety, never remove the PC's cover without first removing the
power cord from the power outlet and any connection to a
telecommunications network. Always replace the cover before switching
the PC on again.
