Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect you and prevent damage to your netbook.

When Using Your T1000/T1005 Netbook

English

CAUTION: Notebooks generate heat while in use and this

can build up in the base of the notebook. When using the notebook please be careful and do not rest the notebook on exposed skin as contact with the base can cause serious

discomfort or a serious skin rash or burn.

• Do not attempt to service the netbook yourself. Always follow

installation instructions carefully.

• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container

where metal objects (such as car keys) could come into contact with and short-circuit battery terminals. The resulting excessive flow of current would cause extreme temperatures and result in excessive burns or a possible fire or explosion.

• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and

that the cable is not placed where it can be tripped over or can be stepped on and damaged.

• While you are using the computer or charging the battery, place the

AC adapter in a ventilated area, like on a desktop or on the floor while it is charging as this may prevent ventilation and cause the adapter to overheat. Do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.

• Do not insert objects into the air vent of your netbook computer.

Doing so can cause short-circuiting and may result in fire or electrical shock. This will also hamper vantilation.

• Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are supplied by your

netbook manufacturer. Using other types of battery or AC adapter may heighten the risk of fire or explosion.

• Incorrectly inserted batteries may result in an explosion.

• Replace only with the same or compatible battery recommended by

the manufacturer.

• Please discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's

instructions.

• Before you connect your netbook to a power source, ensure that

the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power source.

- 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea.

- 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan.

- 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle & Far East and Africa.

•If you use an extension cord with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed its total capacity.

• When removing battery from your netbook, first turn off the system,

disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and then remove the battery.

• To avoid risk of an electrical shock, do not connect or disconnect

any cables, or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during a thunderstorm.

• Do not throw batteries into fire, doing so may cause an explosion.

Check with local authorities first for battery disposal instructions.

• When setting up your netbook for work, place it on a level surface.

• When traveling, do not check your netbook as baggage. You can

put your netbook through an X-ray security machine, but never put your netbook through a metal detector. If you have your netbook checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery ready in case you are asked to turn on your netbook.

T1000 SERIES USER’S MANUAL

• When traveling with the hard drive removed from your netbook,

wrap the drive in an insulated material, such as cloth or paper. If you have the drive checked by hand, you may be asked to install the drive into your netbook. Your can have the hard drive checked through an X-ray machine, but never put the drive through a metal detector.

• When traveling, do not place your netbook in the overhead storage

compartment where it could shift around. Do not drop your netbook or subject it to other mechanical shocks.

• Protect your netbook, battery, and hard drive from all types of henvironmental hazards that it may be exploded to during use or while being transported.

• When you move your netbook in environments where there is a

substantial difference of temperature or humidity level, condensation may form on or within your netbook. To avoid damaging your netbook, please allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before continue using.

NOTICE: When taking your netbook from a colder to a warmer environment or vice versa, allow your netbook enough time to adapt to the new environment before switching the notebook on.

• When unplugging the power cord, please make sure that you pull

on its connector or on its strain relief loop, and not on the power cord itself. As you pull out the connector, please ensure that it is pulled out evenly in order not to bend its connecting pins. Also, before you connect the power cord, make sure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

• Before you clean your netbook, turn it off first, unplug it from its

power source, and remove the battery.

• Handle interior components with care. When removing a component, please hold it by the edge and not on the connecting pins (such as the memory module).

When using your telephone equipments, safety instructions

should always be followed in order to prevent re, electrical

shock or injuries, these instructions include:

• Do not use this product near water, for example, near a

bathtub, washing basins, kitchen/laundry sinks, wet basements or swimming pools.

• Avoid using cordless phones during an electrical storm as

lightening may cause electrical shocks and damange.

WARNING: Voiding the Warranty

* If the battery is not properly handled, there may be a risk of

explosion; make sure you are using the same or compatible battery.

* Please discard used batteries according to the instructions

given by the manufacturer.

* Please be aware that use of cracked, severely scratched or

poor quality discs may damage the optical drive and corrupt data in the disc. Such discs may break while inside the optical drive and may damage the drive and may void the notebook warranty.
