Quick Setup
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, read the safety information
that shipped with your computer. For additional best practices information, see
www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.
WARNING: The AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, power
connectors and power strips vary among countries. Using an incompatible cable or improperly
connecting the cable to the power strip or electrical outlet may cause fire or equipment damage.
CAUTION: When you disconnect the AC adapter cable from the computer, grasp the connector,
not the cable itself, and pull firmly but gently to avoid damaging the cable. When you wrap the
AC adapter cable, ensure that you follow the angle of the connector on the AC adapter to avoid
damaging the cable.
NOTE: Some devices may not be included if you did not order them.
