SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SA FETY I NSTRUCT IONS

This unit requires an AC adapter to operate. Use only UL Listed I.T.E. Class II Adapters with an output rating of 19 VDC, with a

current of 3.16 A, 60 W. When using your notebook equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

AC adapter output polarity:

• Do not use this product near water for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub,
in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

Warning

Caution

• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

To reduce the risk of re, use only No. 26 AWG or larger UL Listed or CSA Certied Telecommunication Line Cord.

•

For Authorized Repair Technicians Only

DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF LITHIUM ( CLOCK) BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY
WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DISPOSE OF
USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTION.

FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF FIRE, REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME TYPE
AND RATING FUSE.

Recycling your Battery

Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of
time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the bat tery
with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because
batteries contain materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly

Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the ser vices of the Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC )**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting
our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.

RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada.

To nd the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org or call 1-800-822-8837.

If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative
website (http://EIAE.org/) and search for a convenient disposal location.

Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative ef fort, and you should make ever y effort to protect it
for current and future generations.

* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com

in the US or www.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks in Canada.

** RBRC is an independent third part y to which Fujitsu provides funding for batter y recycling; RBRC is in no way
afliated with Fujitsu.
