CAUTION: Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your device and working environment from potential damage.

SAFETY: General

Do not attempt to service the device yourself unless you are a trained service technician. Always follow installation instructions closely.
If you use an extension power cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension power cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your device. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Keep your device away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your device; do not place your device in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.
Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use it to run the device 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 inside a carrying case.
The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your device. Use care when handling the adapter during or immediately after operation.
Do not use your device in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool or in a wet basement.
If your device includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, disconnect the modem cable if an electrical storm is approaching to avoid the remote risk of electric shock from lightning via the telephone line.
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. Do not use your device during an electrical storm unless all cables have been disconnected and the device is operating on battery power.
If your device includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.
PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their continuous operation.
Before you clean your device, disconnect the device from the electrical outlet. Clean your device with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.
Caution: Safety Instructions 11

SAFETY: Power

Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for use with this device. Use of another AC adapter may cause a fire or explosion.
Before you connect the device to an electrical outlet, check the AC adapter voltage rating to ensure that the required voltage and frequency match the available power source.
To remove the device from all power sources, turn the device off, disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and remove the battery installed in the battery bay.
To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and device power cables into properly grounded power sources. These power cables may be equipped with 3-prong plugs to provide an earth grounding connection. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power extension cable, use the appropriate type, 2-prong or 3-prong, to mate with the AC adapter power cable.
Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when plugging the AC adapter’s power cable into the power strip. Some power strips may allow you to insert the plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the power plug could result in permanent damage to your device, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire. Ensure that the ground prong of the power plug is inserted into the mating ground contact of the power strip.

SAFETY: Battery

Use only Dell™ battery modules that are approved for use with this device. Use of other types may increase the risk of fire or explosion.
Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys or paper clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.
The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged or leaking battery pack with extreme care. If the battery is damaged, electrolyte may leak from the cells and may cause personal injury.
Keep the battery away from children.
Do not store or leave your device or battery pack near a heat source such as a radiator, fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance or otherwise expose it to temperatures in excess of 60ºC (140ºF). When heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.
Do not dispose of your device’s battery in a fire or with normal household waste. Battery cells may explode. Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions or contact your local waste disposal agency for disposal instructions. Dispose of a spent or damaged battery promptly.
12 Caution: Safety Instructions

SAFETY: Air Travel

Certain Federal Aviation Administration regulations and/or airline-specific restrictions may apply to the operation of your Dell device while you are on board an aircraft. For example, such regulations/restrictions may prohibit the use of any personal electronic device (PED) that has the capacity for intentional transmission of radio frequency or other electromagnetic signals while on an aircraft.
In order to best comply with all such restrictions, if your Dell portable device is
equipped with Dell TrueMobile™ or some other wireless communication device, please disable this device before you board the aircraft and follow all instructions provided by airline personnel with regard to such device.
Additionally, the use of any PED, such as a portable device, may be prohibited in
aircraft during certain critical phases of flight, for example, takeoff and landing. Some airlines may further define the critical flight phase as any time the aircraft is below 3050 m (10,000 ft). Please follow the airline’s specific instructions as to when the use of a PED is allowed.

SAFETY: Electromagnetic Compatibility Instructions

Use shielded signal cables to ensure that you maintain the appropriate electromagnetic compatibility classification for the intended environment. For parallel printers, a cable is available from Dell. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell at its worldwide website at www.dell.com.
Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your device. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your device’s electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.
WARNING:
with this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash your hands after handling the cord.
Handling the cord on this product, or cords associated with accessories sold

When Using Your Device

Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to prevent damage to your device:
When setting up the device for work, place it on a level surface.
When traveling, do not check the device as baggage. You can put your device through an X-ray security machine, but never put your device through a metal detector. If you have the device checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are asked to turn on the device.
When traveling, do not place the device in overhead storage compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your device or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
Protect your device and battery from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
Caution: Safety Instructions 13
When you move your device between environments with very different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the device. To avoid damaging the device, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the device.
NOTICE: When taking the device from low-temperature conditions into a warmer
environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler environment, allow the device to acclimate to room temperature before turning on power.
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.
Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory module by its
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
edges, not its pins.
Clean the display with a soft, clean cloth and water. Apply the water to the cloth; then stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom. Remove moisture from the display quickly and keep the display dry. Long-term exposure to moisture can damage the display. Do not use a commercial window cleaner to clean your display.

SAFETY: Ergonomic Computing Habits

CAUTION: Improper or prolonged keyboard use may result in injury.
CAUTION: Viewing the display or external monitor screen for extended periods of
time may result in eye strain.

SAFETY: Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your device. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your device’s electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
14 Caution: Safety Instructions

SAFETY: Battery Disposal

Your device uses a lithium-ion battery and a rechargeable NiMH battery. For instructions about replacing the batteries in your device, see "Using the Battery" on page 48.
Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact your local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.
