User’s Manual

Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the

voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power

source.
115 V/60Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern

countries such as Taiwan.
100 V/50Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan.
230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.

If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total

ampere rating of the products that are plugged into it do not exceed the

ampere rating of the extension cable itself.

To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or

disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this

product during an electrical storm.

When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with

local authorities for disposal instructions.

When traveling, do not check the computer as baggage. You can put

your computer through an X-ray security machine, but never put your

computer through a metal detector. If you have the computer checked

by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are

asked to turn on the computer.

When traveling with the hard drive removed from the computer, wrap

the drive in a non-conducting material, such as cloth or paper. If you

have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive in the

computer. Your can put the hard drive through an X-ray security

machine, but never put it through a metal detector.

When traveling, do not place the computer in overhead storage

compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your computer

or subject it to other mechanical shocks.

Protect your computer, battery, and hard drive from environmental

hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and

overexposure to sunlight.

When you move your computer between environments with very

different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form

on or within the computer. To avoid damaging the computer, allow

sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the computer.

When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief

loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it

evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you

connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and

aligned.

Before you clean your computer, turn if off, unplug it from its power

source, and remove the battery.

Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory

module by its edges, not its pins.
