Additional safety notes for devices with wireless components
Wirelesscomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes
If a wireless component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, LTE) is incorporated into your note book,
you must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using y our not ebook:
• Switch off the wireless components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
• Switch off the wireless 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 wireless components when you let the device get near flammable
gases or into hazardous environments (e.g . petrol station, paintshops), as the
transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire.
For information on how to switch wireless components on and off, see chapter
"
Switching the wireless components on and off", Pag e 38.

Please observe the points listed below when travelling with your notebook.
Before you travel
► Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
NotebookTravel,notebook
► Switch off the wireless component for data security reasons. With data traffic via a wire less
connection, it is also possible for unauthorised third parties to receive data.
Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation
for your wireless component.
► If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight
attendants if it is OK to do so.
When travelling in other countries
► If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the
local mains vo ltage. 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 voltage and the power cable are compatible. If this is
not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions.
► Contact the relevant authorities of the country you will be travelling in as to
whether you may operate the radio component integrated into your notebook
computer. Please observe the additional safety instructions for devices with radio
components, found in the handbook “Safety/formalities”.
Notebook: transporting
Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme 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 adapter and all external devices from the power socket.
► Disconnect the mains adapter cable and the data cables for all external devices.

Selecting a location
SelectingalocationDeviceMainsadapter
Select a suitable location for the device before setting it up. F ollow
the instructions below when doing so:
• Never place the device or the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
The surface could be damaged as a result.
• Never place the device on a soft s urface (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 surface. Please note that the
rubber feet of the device may mark certain types of delicate surfaces.
• Keep other objects at least 100 mm / 3.94 inches 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.
