Additional safety notes for devices with radio components
Radiocomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS) is integrated in your notebook, you
must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your notebook:
• Switch off the radio components 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 medica l
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. petro l 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 38.

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 e nergy 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-managemen t features",
Page 36").
Travelling w ith you
MobileoperationNotesTrans portationNotebook
Please observe the points listed below when travelling with your notebook.
rnotebook
Before you travel
► Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
NotebookTravel,notebook
► Switch off the radio 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 radio 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.
► Enquire with the corresponding govern m ent 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 68).

Selecting a location
SelectingalocationDeviceM ainsadapter
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 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 surface. 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.
Mains adapter connecting
PreparingforoperationMainsadapter
Observe the safety notes in the enclosed "Safety/Regulations" manual.
If the mains adapter is connected, you may feel a slight tingling when you touch
the top of the aluminium housing. The combination of a mains adapter without
protective earth and metallic housing parts causes a very weak electrical current.
This effect is harmless. The device meets all relevant safety standards.
The supplied power cable conforms to the requirements of the country in
which you purchased yo ur device. Make sure that the power cab le is approved
for use in the country in which you intend to use it.
First-time setup of your device
► Connect the power cable (1) to the
mains adapter.
► Plug the mains cable (2) into a mains outlet.
► Connect the mains adapter cable (3) to
