Be sure that you always do the following:
 Keep your computer away from sources of liquids, such as drinks, washbasins,

bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on.

 Protect your computer from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and so on.
 Read all the installation instructions carefully before you plug your computer into a

wall socket.

 Keep these instructions handy for reference by you and others.
 Follow all instructions and warnings dealing with your system.

Important:

Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operation of this

product, or similar products, must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow
children access to the interior of any electrical product and do not permit them to
handle any cables.

Connectors and Ports

Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port don’t join with
reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches the
port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

Avoid Hearing Damage

Warning:

Your AC cord came equipped with a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that

has a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. If you are
unable to insert the plug into an outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a
licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not
defeat the purpose of the grounding plug.

Warning:

Never push objects of any kind into this product through the openings in

the case. Doing so may be dangerous and result in fire or a dangerous electric shock.

Warning:

Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at

high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound, which may sound
normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Set your eMac volume to a safe level
before that happens. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use of earbuds or headphones with your eMac.
