Safety Information
Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with the Notebook.
Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries
in a fire. They may explode. Check with Australian codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged (e.g. bent
or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer continues to work with a damaged battery in
place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire.
Make sure that your computer is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag
(or any such container).
Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power
supplies, peripherals and cables (including telephone lines). It is advisable to also remove
your battery in order to prevent accidentally turning the machine on.
Use a soft clean cloth to clean the computer, but do not apply cleaner directly to the
computer. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the
computer.
Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replacement to your
service representative or qualified service personnel.
Note that in computer’s featuring a raised LCD electro-plated logo, the logo is covered by a
protective adhesive. Due to general wear and tear, this adhesive may deteriorate over time
and the exposed logo may develop sharp edges. Be careful when handling the computer in
this case, and avoid touching the raised LCD electro-plated logo. Avoid placing any other
items in the carrying bag which may rub against the top of the computer during transport.
If any such wear and tear develops contact your service centre.
Polymer Battery Precautions
Note the following information which is specific to polymer batteries only, and where
applicable, this overrides the general battery precaution information.
Polymer batteries may experience a slight expansion or swelling, however this is part of the
battery’s safety mechanism and is not a cause for concern.
Use proper handling procedures when using polymer batteries. Do not use polymer
batteries in high ambient temperature environments, and do not store unused batteries for
extended periods.
Battery Disposal & Caution
The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At
the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery
into the municipal waste stream.
Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper
disposal.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by LEADER™ Computers. Discard used battery according to Local instructions.
