Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your computer.
General Warnings
• Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with the base
resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can potentially build
up in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin could cause discomfort or,
eventually, a burn.
• Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation
instructions closely.
• To avoid personal injury from electric shock or fire:
− Completely power down the computer when replacing memory modules,
cleaning the computer, its components, or chassis, or performing operations
requiring similar steps. To do this, first turn the power off at the power switch,
remove the battery, and then disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical
outlet or from any other type of external power source, such as an external
battery.
− Do not operate the computer near water, for example, near a bathtub, kitchen
sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, by a swimming pool, or in the rain.
− Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or
reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm.
− Avoid using the wired modem or LAN during an electrical storm, as a remote
risk of electric shock from lightning exists.
− Do not push objects into the air vents or openings of your computer or
accessories. Doing so can short out interior components and may cause fire or
electric shock.
− When installing memory modules, ground yourself by touching a grounded
conductive surface, such as a device with a grounded plug. Avoid touching the
pins and leads on the memory module or internal circuitry of the computer.
• When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.
• Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory module by its
edges, not its pins.
• If the battery pack leaks and the fluid get in your eyes, do not rub them. Instead,
rinse your eyes with clean running water and immediately seek medical attention.
Otherwise, eye injury may result.
• If acid leaking from the battery pack contacts your skin or clothing, immediately
wash it away with running water. Otherwise, skin inflammation can occur.
• Operate the computer at the recommended temperature range of +5oC to +35oC
(+41oF to +95oF). Store it at a temperature of -20oC to +60oC (+4oF to +140
o
F).
• Your computer shipped with plastic dummies installed in the PCMCIA or Express
slot. Dummies protect unused slots from dust, metal object, or other particles. Save
the dummy for use when no PCMCIA or Express Card is installed in the slot.
Safety Instructions
iii
Power Cord & Adapter Warnings
• See the installation instructions before connecting to the power supply.
• Power cord sets for use in other countries must meet the requirements of that
country. Use the appropriate AC adapter and power cord for your locale.
• If you use an extension cord with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the ampere
rating of the extension cable.
• When using your power cord, make sure to position it around objects so it will not
be cut or punctured.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector 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.
• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is
not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
• Use only the AC adapters that are approved for use with this computer. Use of
another type of adapter may risk fire or explosion.
• 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/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern
countries such as South Korea and Taiwan.
− 100 V/50 Hz 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 plugged in to the extension cable does not
exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desktop or on the floor, when
you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter
with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter
while it is inside a carrying case.
• Disconnect power cords and cables by grasping the connector, not by pulling on
the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid
bending any connector pins. Before you connect a cable, make sure both
connectors are correctly aligned.
• To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery, and disconnect
the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
Battery Pack Warnings
− Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects
(such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive
current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from
burns.
− Danger of explosion may occur if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same or equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer.
Safety Instructions
iv
− Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local authorities
for disposal instructions.
− Do not use or leave the battery pack near a heat source. Heat can melt the insulation
and damage other safety features, possibly leading it to leak acid, overheat, emit
smoke, burst and/or ignite.
− Do not immerse the battery pack in water or allow it to get wet. Its protective features
can be damaged. Abnormal chemical reactions may occur, possibly leading it to
leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
− Do not crush, disassemble, puncture, or incinerate the short external contacts of
battery pack.
− Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with a metal object such as
wire. Short-circuiting may occur leading the battery pack to leak acid, overheat, emit
smoke, burst and/or ignite.
− Do not use an apparently deformed or damaged battery pack, which may leak acid,
overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
− If the battery pack leaks, gives off a bad odor, generates heat, becomes discolored
or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage,
immediately remove it from the computer or charger and stop using it.
Battery Pack Disposal
− Dispose of the lithium ion battery packs only at approved disposal sites. To locate an
appropriate site, contact the solid waste disposal officials where you live or look for a
rechargeable battery recycling website that lists disposal locations near you.
− Do not dispose of battery packs in a fire, throw them in a trash receptacle, put them
in a recycling bin not intended for their disposal, or otherwise discard them in a
manner that may result in their being hazardous to the environment.
Internal Modem Warnings
CAUTION: When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons,
including the following:
− The modem cable you connect to your computer should have a minimum wire size
of 26 AWG (American wire gauge) and an UL-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.
− Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
− Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
− Do not plug a modem connector (RJ-11) into a network connection (RJ-45). This
may damage the connector.
