Additional safety notes for devices with wireless components

If a wireless component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, LTE) is incorporated into your notebook, you must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your notebook:

•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", Page 38.

Energy saving

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 notebook 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 36").

Travelling with your notebook

Please observe the points listed below when travelling with your notebook.

Before you travel

►Back up important data stored on your hard disk.

►Switch off the wireless component for data security reasons. With data traffic via a wireless 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 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 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.

►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.
