when working with your notebook. Other notes also provide useful information
which will help you with your notebook.
Safety notes
SafetynotesNotes
Please follow the safety notes provided in the "Safety/Regulations" manual
as well as the safety notes given below.
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 i n the "
Technical data",
Page 8 1 and "First-time setup of your device", Page 16 before preparing your
notebook for use and switching it on for the first time.
When cleaning the device, please observe the relevant notes in the
section "
Cleaning the n otebook", Page 15.
Pay attention to the additional safety notes for devices with radio components
provided in the "Safety/Regulations" manual.
Please refer to the notes in the chapter "
Removing and installing
components during servicing", Page 63.
This notebook
complies with the relevant safety regulations fo r data processing
equipment. I
f you have questions about using your notebook in a particular area,
please conta
ct your sales outlet or our Hotline/Service Desk.
Additional safety notes for devices with
radio components
Radiocomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, LTE) is inco rporated into your notebook,
you must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your not ebook:
• Switch off the radio components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
• Switch off the radio components w hen 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 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 radio components on and off, see chapter
"
Switching the wireless components on and off", Page 44.

Important notes
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 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 39").
Travelling with you
rnotebook
MobileoperationNotesTransportationNotebook
Please observe th e 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 radio component for data security rea son s. 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 radio component.
► If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight
attendants i f 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.
► 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 t here (see also "
CE marking", Page 83).

Please read the chapter "Important notes", Page 13.
If your device is equipped with a Windows operating system, the necessary
hardware drivers and supplied software are already pre-installed.
Before you switch on the device f or the first time, connect it to the mains voltage
using the mains adapter, see "
Mains adapter connecting", Page 17.Themains
adapter must be connected during the entire installation process.
A system test is performed when your device is first switched on. Various messages
can appear. The display may remain dark for a short time or may flicker.
Please follow the instructions on the screen.
NEVER switch off your device during the first-time setup process.
On delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment or in the accessories kit.
The battery must be charged if you want to operate your device using the b attery.
When used on the move, the built-in battery provides the device with the necessary power. You
can increase the operating time by using the available energy-saving functions.
For instructions on how to connect external devices (e.g. mouse, printer) to your
device, please refer to the operating manual for your device.
Unpacking and
checking the device
Should you discover any damage that occurred during transportation,
notify your local sales outlet immediately!
► Unpack all the individual parts.

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 damaged as a result.
• Never place the device on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cau se overheating an d 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 s urfa ces.
• Keep other objects at least 100 mm / 3.97" 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. P ro tect
the device from dust, humidity, and heat.
