This section provides information about setting up your Dell computer.
Before Setting up Your Compute r
When positioning your computer, ensure that you allow easy access to a power source,
adequate ventilation, and a level surface to place your computer.
Restricting airflow around your computer may cause it to overheat. To prevent overheating
ensure that you leave at least 10.2 cm (4 inches) at the back of the computer and a minimum of
5.1 cm (2 inches) on all other sides. You should never place your computer in an enclosed
space, such as a cabinet or drawer when it is powered on.
WARNING: Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents.
Do not store your Dell™ computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a closed briefcase,
while it is powered on. Restricting the airflow can damage the computer or cause a fire. The
computer turns on the fan when the computer gets hot. Fan noise is normal and does not
indicate a problem with the fan or the computer.
CAUTION: Placing or stacking heavy or sharp objects on the computer may result in
permanent damage to the computer.

Removing and Replacing a Laptop Computer Battery
If your Dell laptop computer is shipped without the battery, install the battery before your
proceed.
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety
instructions that shipped with your computer.
WARNING: Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or explosion. This
computer should only use a battery purchased from Dell. Do not use batteries from other
computers.
WARNING: Before removing the battery, shut down the computer, and remove external
cables (including the AC adapter).
To install the battery
1. Slide the battery into the battery bay until it clicks into place.
For some computers, this requires that the battery be inserted at a 45-degree angle.
To remove the battery

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
WARNING: The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device should be used in such a
manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.
This device has been evaluated for and shown compliant with the FCC RF
Exposure limits under mobile exposure conditions (antennas are greater than 20cm
from a person’s body). This device has also been evaluated for and shown
compliant with the FCC RF exposure limits under portable exposure conditions
(antennas are within 20 cm of a person's body) when installed in certain specific
configurations. Details of the authorized configurations can be found at
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm by entering the FCC
ID number on the device.
NOTE: Dell RFID devices must be installed and used in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with
the product. Any other installation or use will violate FCC Part 15 regulations.
Modifications not expressly approved by Dell could void your authority to operate
the equipment.
Interference Statement
These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of the devices is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) The devices may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) The devices must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If the equipment is
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, the equipment may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee, however, that such
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on), the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
taking one or more of the following measures:
Relocate this device.
Increase the separation between the device and the receiver.
Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit different from that of other
electronics.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.
Canada, avis d'Industry Canada (IC)
La circuiterie numérique de Classe B de cet appareil est conforme à la norme canadienne ICES-
003.
Cet appareil est conforme aux normes d'exemption de licence RSS d'Industry Canada. Son
fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) cet appareil ne doit pas causer
d'interférence et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, notamment les interférences qui
peuvent affecter son fonctionnement.
Conformément aux réglementations d'Industry Canada, les émetteurs radio de cet appareil ne
peuvent fonctionner qu'à l'aide d'une antenne dont le type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) pour
ces émetteurs - transmetteurs sont approuvés par Industry Canada. Pour réduire le risque
d'interférence éventuelle pour les autres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de l'antenne doivent être
choisis de manière à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) minimale
nécessaire à une bonne communication soit fournie.
Informations sur l'exposition à la fréquence radio (FR)
La puissance rayonnée de sortie de cet appareil est inférieure aux limites d'exposition à la
fréquence radio d'Industry Canada (IC). Cet appareil a été évalué et jugé conforme aux limites
d'exposition à la fréquence radio (FR) d'IC. Cet appareil devrait être utilisé de manière à ce que
le risque de contact humain au cours d'un fonctionnement normal soit réduit.
Cet appareil est homologué pour l'utilisation au Canada. Pour consulter l'entrée correspondant à
l'appareil dans la liste d'équipement radio (REL - Radio Equipment List) d'Industry Canada,
