− In the event of a fault, please contact the Service Centre or an
approved repair specialist.
Data Backup
Back up your data on external storage media before each update. We do
not accept any liability for claims for compensation arising from loss of
data or any consequential loss or damage.
Safety Instructions
14

Setup Location
− Keep your notebook and all connected devices away from
moisture and avoid dust, heat, fire and direct sunlight.
Non-compliance with these instructions can lead to faults or
damage to the notebook.
− Do not use the notebook outdoors because external elements,
such as rain, snow, etc., could damage it.
− Set up and operate all components on a stable, level and
vibration-free surface to prevent the notebook from falling down.
− Do not operate the notebook or power adaptor for long periods
on your lap or any other body part as the heat dissipation on the
underside can result in uncomfortable overheating.
− This device is not suitable for use with VDU workstations.
Environmental Requirements
− The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient
temperature between 5°C (+41°F) and 30°C (+86°F) and
at a relative humidity between 20% and 80% (without
condensation).
− When powered off, the notebook can be stored at temperatures
between 0°C and 60°C (+32°F and 140°F).
− During a thunderstorm unplug the AC adapter from the wall
outlet. For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage
protection device (surge protector) to prevent the notebook
from sustaining damage as a result of power surges or
lightning strikes.
− After transporting the notebook, wait until the device has
reached room temperature before switching it on. Large
changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause
moisture build up within the notebook due to condensation.
This can cause an electrical short circuit.
Safety Instructions
15

Power Supply
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
Do not open the housing of the AC adapter. There is a risk of electric
shock when the housing is open. It does not contain any parts
requiring maintenance.
− The wall outlet must be close to the notebook and easily
accessible.
− To disconnect the power supply from your notebook (via the AC
adapter), pull the mains plug from the power outlet.
− Plug the notebook’s AC adapter into AC 100 – 240 V~ 50/60Hz.
earthed sockets only. If you are not sure about the power
supply at the set-up location, please ask your electricity supplier.
− For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage
protection device (surge protector) to prevent your notebook
from sustaining damage as a result of power surges or
lightning strikes.
− The only devices which may be connected to the device are
those that meet the requirements set out in the AS/NZS 60950.1
standard “Information Technology Equipment – Safety” or
devices that meet the AS/NZS 60065 standard “Audio, video
and similar electronic apparatus – Safety requirements”.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Unsuitable mains adapters may cause damage to the product.
− Only use this device and accompanying AC adapter with each
other.
Safety Instructions
16

Cabling
− Position the cables so that they cannot be stepped on or might
cause a risk for tripping.
− To avoid damaging the cables, do not place any objects on
them.
− Do not connect peripheral devices – such as keyboards, mouse
and monitor, etc. – when the notebook is switched on to avoid
damage to the notebook or the devices. Some devices may also
be connected while the computer is running. This is generally
the case for devices with a USB connection. In all cases, observe
the relevant operating instructions.
− Maintain a distance of at least one metre from sources of
high-frequency and magnetic interference (TV sets, speakers,
mobile phones, DECT telephones, etc.) in order to avoid
malfunctions and data loss.
− Please note that only shielded cables that are shorter than
3metres may be connected to the external interfaces of this
notebook.
− Do not exchange the supplied cable for another one. Use only
the supplied cable as this cable has been extensively tested in
our laboratory.
− In addition, when connecting your peripherals only use the
connecting cables supplied with those devices.
− Ensure that all connection cables are connected to their
corresponding peripheral device to avoid any interference
radiation.
− Disconnect any cables that are not required.

Notes on the Battery
WARNING!
Risk of explosion!
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly.
− Do not heat up the battery to a temperature greater than the
maximum ambient temperature stated.
− Never open the battery.
− Do not throw the battery into an open fire.
− Do not short-circuit the battery.
− Only replace with the same type of battery or with a similar
type recommended by the manufacturer.
− Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the information
provided by the manufacturer.
To increase the lifespan and performance of your battery and also
to ensure reliable operation, you should also heed the following
instructions:
− Avoid dirt and contact with electrically conductive materials or
chemical substances and cleaning agents.
− Use only the supplied AC adapter to charge the battery. Make
sure (via the notebook display or acoustic signal) that the
battery is fully discharged before charging it again.
− Do not remove the battery while the notebook is switched on
or data may be lost.
− Take care when storing the battery and when using the
notebook that the contacts on the battery and the notebook
are not soiled or damaged. This could cause malfunctions.
− Ensure the notebook is switched off before replacing the
battery.
− If the battery is integrated into the device it cannot be readily
replaced by the user themselves. In this case the battery must
be replaced by a service technician.
Safety Instructions
18

Information about the Touchpad
The touchpad is operated with the thumb or another finger and
reacts to the energy given out by the skin. Dust or grease on the
touchpad can affect its sensitivity.
− Do not use pens or other objects as these can damage your
touchpad.
− Remove the dust or grease from the surface of the touch pad
with a soft, dry and lint-free cloth.
Protecting the Display
The display is the most sensitive component part of the device as it
consists of thin glass.
The display can break if subjected to too much stress.
− Do not allow any objects to drop onto the display.
− Do not place any objects on the display.
− Do not scratch the display with your fingernails or hard objects.
− Never lift the notebook up by the display as this could break the
hinges. Avoid contact between the display and hard objects
(e.g. buttons, wristwatch).
− Do not fold the display back by an angle of more than 120°.
Exceeding this value may damage the housing or the device.
Always hold the display firmly by the middle when folding it
back, adjusting the position and closing it.
− If the screen breaks, there is a danger of injury. If this happens,
pick up the shattered pieces wearing protective gloves and
send them to your service centre for professional disposal.
Finally, wash your hands with soap, as the pieces may have
been contaminated with chemicals.
Safety Instructions
19

Ergonomics
Avoid dazzle, reflections and a light-dark contrast that is too strong in
order to protect your eyes.
The notebook should never be placed next to a window because
this is the brightest part of the room in daylight. This brightness can
make it more difficult for the eyes to adjust to the darker display.
The notebook should always be positioned so that the direction of
vision is parallel to the window front.
Setting up the notebook with your back to the window is incorrect
as reflections from the bright window on the screen will then be
unavoidable. A position looking onto the window is also incorrect
as the contrast between the dark screen and the bright daylight
can cause problems for the eyes to adjust and result in problems.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation to
artificial lighting equipment.
In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where
the workspace is illuminated with artificial light. Where space
restrictions make it impossible to set up the screen as described,
then correct positioning (rotating, tilting) of the notebook/screen
can prevent dazzling, reflections and excessive bright-dark
contrast, etc. In many cases, an improvement can also be achieved
by using slats or vertical blinds on the windows, partition walls or
by changing the artificial lighting equipment.
