Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your APR from potential damage
and to help ensure your own personal safety:
•Do not attempt to service the APR yourself. Always follow installation
instructions closely.
•Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable.
•Be sure that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
•Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, suc h as a desktop or on the floor, when
powering the APR. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that
will reduce cooling. Do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying case.
•Do not use your APR in a wet environment, for example, near a bathtub, sink, or
swimming pool or in a wet basement.
•Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your APR. Doing so can cause
fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
•Use only the AC adapter that is approved for use with this APR as indicated in
this document. Use of another type of AC adapter may risk fire or explosion.
•Before you connect the APR to a power source, ensure that the voltage rating
of the AC adapter matches that of the available power source:
— 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (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/60 Hz in western Japan
— 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East and the Far East
•To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and peripheral power cables
into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with 3-prong
plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the
grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire
cable with properly grounded plugs.
•If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged into the extension cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
•To remove power from the APR, turn off the computer and disconnect the AC
adapter from the electrical outlet.
•To help a void 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.
•When setting up the APR for work, place it on a level surface.
•Protect your APR from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids,
temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
•When you move your APR between environments with very different
temperature or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the
1-8Dell Inspiron Advanced Port Replicator User’s Guide
computer . To avoid damaging the APR, allow sufficient time for the moisture to
evaporate before using the computer.
NOTICE: When taking the APR from low-temperature conditions into a
warmer environment or from high-temperature conditions into a
cooler environment, allow the APR 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.
•Before you clean your APR, turn it off and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
•Clean your APR with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
•If your APR gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures described in
Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” of the Reference and Troubleshooting Guide. If,
after following these procedures, you confirm that your APR is not operating
properly, contact Dell Computer Corporation. (See Chapter 5, “Getting Help,” in
the Reference and Troubleshooting Guide for the appropriate telephone number.)

Power
Regulatory Notices
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or
conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio
navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly
interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services
include but are not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular
services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS).
These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices,
including computer systems, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to
function properly together in the electronic environment. While this computer system
has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for
EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient the receiving antenna.
•Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
•Move the computer away from the receiver.
•Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and the receiver
are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Technical Support representative of Dell Computer Corporation
or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find
the FCC Interference Handbook, 1986, to be helpful. It is available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00450-7 or
on the World Wide Web at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Compliance/WWW/tvibook.html.
Dell computer systems are designed, tested, and classified for their intended
electromagnetic environment. These electromagnetic environment classifications
generally refer to the following harmonized definitions:
•Class A is typically for business or industrial environments.
•Class B is typically for residential environments.
Information Technology Equipment (ITE), including peripherals, expansion cards,
printers, input/output (I/O) devices, monitors, and so on, that are integrated into
or connected to the system should match the electromagnetic environment
classification of the computer system.
A Notice About Shielded Signal Cables: Use only shielded cables for
connecting peripherals to any Dell device to reduce the possibility of
interference with radio communications services. Using shielded cables
ensures that you maintain the appropriate EMC classification for the
intended environment. For parallel printers, a cable is available from
Dell Computer Corporation. If you prefer, you can order a cable from
