Laser Compliance Statement for CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CDRW and DVD/CD-RW Combo Drives
The CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD-RW and DVD/CD-RW Combo
drive for this computer are laser products. The classification
label of the drive is located on the bottom of the drive. Below is
a sample of the classification label;
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
LASER KLASSE 1
LOUKAN 1 LASERLAITE
APPAREIL A LASER DE CLASSE 1
KLASS 1 LASER APPARAT
The drive is certified in the USA to comply with the
requirements of the Department of Health and Human Services
21 Code of Federal Regulations (DHHS 21 CFR) Subchapter J.
for Class 1 laser products.
In other countries the drive is certified to comply with the
requirements of EN60825.
Do not open the drive. There
are no user-serviceable parts or components inside. Use
of controls, adjustments and operation of procedures
other than those specified, may result in hazardous
exposure to radiation. Class I (1) laser products are not
considered hazardous. The drive has an internal, Class I
(1), 0.5-milliwatt, aluminum gallium-arsenide laser that
operates at a wavelength of 760 to 810 nanometers. The
design of the laser system and the drive ensures that there
is no exposure to laser radiation above a Class I (1) level
during normal operation, user maintenance or servicing.

This manual will help you get the most from your computer. If
you are a less experienced user, you should read through the
manual carefully before using your computer.
What to do Before You Work on your Computer
Let your Computer acclimatize itself
Rapid changes in temperature such as those from the cold
outdoors to a warm office would not be suitable for your system.
Do not power up your system
immediately if it has been exposed to hot or cold
conditions. Instead, allow the system to adjust gradually
to room temperature over a three to four hour period.
Placement of your Computer
Choose a suitable place for your system that’s not too hot, too
cold, too dark, or too bright. Glare can make it difficult to read
the screen.
Allow sufficient air circulation around the computer when
you are working indoors
Try to keep the system components from being destroyed
if it is over heated
Do not block the ventilation opening
Do not place your computer in direct sunlight
1
Suitable place to work
Your computer will run well under most conditions but avoid
extreme temperatures and humidity levels.
There are some things you can tolerate that the computer
can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil.
A lithium-ion battery pack is
included for those who are frequent travelers. When you
are running your computer on battery power for the first
time, remove the battery from the package, install it into
the system and recharge the battery to fully prepare for
service.
