Preface
Instructions for Care and Operation
The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:
1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.
2. Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating ele-
ment. This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.

magnetic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
Do not expose the computer to
any shock or vibration.
Do not place it on an unstable
surface.
Do not place anything heavy on
the computer.
Do not expose it to excessive
heat or direct sunlight.
Do not leave it in a place where
foreign matter or moisture may

grams.
Do not turn off any peripheral
devices when the computer is

Preface
Power Safety
The computer has specific power requirements:
• Only use a power adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Your AC/DC adapter may be designed for international travel but it still requires a
steady, uninterrupted power supply. If you are unsure of your local power specifica-
tions, consult your service representative or local power company.
• The power adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The
third prong is an important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not
have access to a compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.
• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug
head, not by its wire.
• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total cur-
rent load of all the connected devices.
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external
power supplies (i.e. AC/DC adapter or car adapter).
Do not plug in the power cord
if you are wet.
Do not use the power cord if it
is broken.
Do not place heavy objects on
the power cord.

prevent accidentally
turning the machine
on.

Battery Precautions
• Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.
• Do not remove any batteries from the computer while it is powered on.
• 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.
• Recharge the batteries using the notebook’s system. Incorrect recharging may make the battery explode.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replacement to your service representative or
qualified service personnel.
• Keep children away from, and promptly dispose of a damaged battery. Always dispose of batteries carefully. Batteries
may explode or leak if exposed to fire, or improperly handled or discarded.
• Keep the battery away from metal appliances.
• Affix tape to the battery contacts before disposing of the battery.
• Do not touch the battery contacts with your hands or metal objects.

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

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the man-
ufacturer. Discard used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

ditions:
• When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is damaged or frayed.
• If the computer has been exposed to rain or other liquids.

Preface
Travel Considerations
Packing
As you get ready for your trip, run through this list to make sure the system is ready to go:
1. Check that the battery pack and any spares are fully charged.
2. Power off the computer and peripherals.
3. Close the display panel and make sure it’s latched.
4. Disconnect the AC/DC adapter and cables. Stow them in the carrying bag.
5. The AC/DC adapter uses voltages from 100 to 240 volts so you won’t need a second voltage adapter. However,
check with your travel agent to see if you need any socket adapters.
6. Put the notebook in its carrying bag and secure it with the bag’s straps.
7. If you’re taking any peripherals (e.g. a printer, mouse or digital camera), pack them and those devices’ adapters and/
or cables.
8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions or require proof of ownership for both hard-
ware and software. Make sure your documents are prepared.

Power Off Before Traveling
Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a
notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the vent(s)/fan intake(s)/outlet(s) to be blocked. To prevent your com-
puter from overheating make sure nothing blocks the vent(s)/fan intake(s)/outlet(s) while the computer is in use.
