Safety warning notice
ÅWARNING: To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of overheating the computer, do not place the docking station
directly on your lap or obstruct the computer air vents. Use the docking station only on a hard, flat surface. Do not allow another
hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, to block airflow. Also,
do not allow the AC adapter to contact the skin or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, during operation. The
docking station and the AC adapter comply with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International
Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment (IEC 60950).
