in the following safety notes.
Please pay special attention to the sections in the manual marked
with the symbol on the left.
When connecting and disconnecting cables, observe the relevant
notes in this operating manual.
Read the information on the ambient conditions in the "
Technical data", Page
88 and "First-time setup of your device", Page 15 before preparing your
notebook for use and switching it on for the first time.
When cleaning the device, please observe the r elevant notes in the

please contact your sales outlet or our Hotline/Service Desk.
Additional safety notes fo
r devices with
radio components
Radiocomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireles
s LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS) is integrated in your no tebook, you
must be sure to observe the fol
lowing safety notes when using your notebook:
• Switch off the radio componen
ts when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
• Switch off the radio components when you are in a hospital, an operating room or near a medical
electronics system. The transmitted radio waves can impair the operation of medical devices.
• Switch off the radio componen
ts when you let the device get near flam mable
gases or into hazardous envi
ronments (e.g. petrol station, paintshops), as the
transmitted radio waves can
cause an explosion or a fire.
For information on how to sw
itch radio components on and off, see chapter
"
Switching the wireless co
mponents on and off", Page 48.

Energy saving
NotesEnergyEnergysaving
Switch the notebook off when it is not in use. Switch off external, connected devices if you
are not using them. If you use the energy saving functions, the noteboo k uses less energy.
You will then be able to work for longer before having to recharge the battery.
Energy efficiency is increased and the environmental impact is reduced.
You save money while protecting the environment.
Energy saving under Windows
► Make use of the power management features (see ""Using the power-management features",
Page 40").

► If you w ish to use your notebook d uring a flight, first check with the flight
attendants if it is OK to do so.
When travelling in other countrie
s
► If you are travelling a broad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the
local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate mains adapter for
your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!
► Check whether the local mains vo
ltage and the power cable are compatible. If this is
not the case, buy a pow er cable th
at matches the local conditions.
► Enquire with the corresponding government office of the country you will be
travelling in as to whether you may operate the radio component integrated in
your notebook there (see also "
CE marking " , Page 93).

Important notes
Notebook: transporting
Protect the notebook from severe shocks and ext reme temperatures
(e.g. direct sunlight in a car).
► If your device has an optical drive, remove all data media (e.g. CD, DVD) from the drives.
TransportationNotebook
► Switch the notebook off.
► Unplug the mains adap ter and all external devices from the power socket.
► Disconnect the mains adapter cable and the data cables for all external devices.
► Close the LCD screen.
► To protect against damaging jolts and bumps, use a notebook carrying
case to transp ort your notebook.
Cleaning the notebook
Do not clean any interior parts yourself; leave this job to a service technician.
Only use cleaning products designed for computers. N orma l household
cleaners and polishes can damage the markings on the keyboard and the

First-time setup of your device
Selecting a location
SelectingalocationDeviceMainsadapter
Select a suitable location for the device before setting it up. Follow
the instructions below when doing so:
• Never place the device or the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
The surface could be dama ged as a result.
• Never place the device on a soft surface (e. g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause overheating and damage.
• The underside of the device heats up during normal operation. Prolonged contact
with the skin may become unpleasant or even result in burns.
• Place the device on a stable, flat, non-slippery s urface. Please note that the
rubber feet of the device may mark certain types of delicate surfaces.
• Keep other objects at least 100 mm away from the device and its
mains adapter to ensure adequate ventilation.
• Never cover the ventilation slots of the device.
• Do not expose the device to extreme environmental conditions. Protect
the device from dust, humidity, and heat.
