Safety Information
The construction of the IBM Aptiva Personal Computer provides extra
protection against the risk of electrical shock. This computer has a power
cord with a three-prong plug that is required to ground metal parts. It is the
responsibility of the person installing the computer to connect it to a properly
grounded electrical outlet. Seek professional assistance before using an
adapter or extension cord; these devices could interrupt the grounding
circuit.
If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet that is incorrectly
connected to the building wiring, serious electrical shock could result.
For continued protection against the risk of electrical shock:
Connect your computer only to an electrical outlet of the correct voltage.
If you are unsure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using,
contact your local power company.
If your computer has cables other than the power cords, you must
connect them before plugging the power cord into an electrical outlet.
Before removing these cables, you must first unplug the power cords
from the outlet.
If your computer has a telephone connection, do not touch the
telephone cords when there is lightning in the area.
Do not use or store the computer in an area where it can become wet.
Make sure all replacement parts have characteristics identical or
equivalent to the original parts. Other parts may not have the same
safety features.
Personal injury or electrical shock may result if you undertake actions
other than those specifically described in this book. This is particularly
true if you try to service or repair the power supply, monitor, or built-in
modem. Always refer service or repairs to qualified service personnel.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Notice
The following statement applies to this IBM product. The statement for other
IBM products intended for use with this product will appear in their
accompanying manuals.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Statement
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult an IBM authorized dealer or service representative for help.
Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used in
order to meet FCC emission limits. Proper cables and connectors are
available from IBM authorized dealers. IBM is not responsible for any radio
or television interference caused by using other than recommended cables
and connectors or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Canadian Department of Communications
Compliance Statement
This equipment does not exceed Class B limits per radio noise emissions for
digital apparatus, set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the
Canadian Department of Communications.
Avis de conformité aux normes du ministère des
Communications du Canada
Cet équipement ne dépasse pas les limites de Classe B d'émission de bruits
radioélectriques pour les appareils numériques, telles que prescrites par le
Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique établi par le ministère des
Communications du Canada.
Canadian Department of Communications Certification Label
Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies
certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets
certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will
operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to
be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection.
In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line
individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector
assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of
service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations
made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give
the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect
the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal water pipe
system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
xvi

Attention
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician,
as appropriate.
Étiquette d'homologation du ministère des Communications du
Canada
AVIS : L'étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada identifie le
matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme à
certaines normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de
télécommunications. Le ministère n'assure toutefois pas que le matériel
fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.
Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le
raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise locale de télécommunications. Le
matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de
raccordement. L'abonné ne doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la
conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n'empêchent pas la
dégradation du service dans certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être effectuées par un centre
d'entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de
télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil
à la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à
cause d'un mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de mise
à la terre de la source d'énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des
canalisations d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette
précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
Attention
L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même, il
doit avoir recours à un service d'inspection des installations électriques
ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

Load Number (LN): The load number (LN) assigned to each terminal
device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a
telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The
termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only
to the requirement that the total of the load of all the devices does not
exceed 100. The load number of the built-in modem is 10.
Indice de charge (IC): L'INDICE DE CHARGE (IC) assigné à chaque
dispositif terminal indique, pour éviter toute surcharge, le pourcentage de la
charge totale qui peut être raccordé à un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé
par ce dispositif. L'extrémité du circuit bouclé peut consister en n'importe
quelle combinaison de dispositifs pourvu que la somme des INDICES DE
CHARGE de l'ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100. L'indice de
charge du modem intégré est de 10.
