Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your

notebook.

English

When Using Your T1125 Notebook Computer

CAUTION: Do not operate your portable computer for an

extended period of time with the base resting directly on
your body. With extended operation, heat can build up in the

I

base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin can cause
discomfort or a possible burn.

• Do not attempt to service the notebook yourself. Always follow
installation instructions closely.

• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container
where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the
battery terminals. The resulting excessive current ow can
generate extremely high temperature and may cause burns to
your skin.

• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable
and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or
stepped on.

• 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
oor. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that
may prevent ventilation. Also, do not use the AC adapter while it
is inside a carrying case.

• Do not insert objects into the air vent of your notebook computer.
Doing so can cause short-circuiting and may result in re or
electrical shock.

• Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are supplied by
your notebook manufacturer. Using other types of battery or AC
adapter may heighten the risk of re or explosion.

• Incorrectly installed or placed batteries may result in an
explosion.

• Replace only with the same or a compatible battery
recommended by the manufacturer.

• Please discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

• Before you connect your notebook to a power source, ensure
that the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the
available power source.

• 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 a battery from your notebook, rst 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 any maintenance or reconguration of
this product during a thunderstorm.

• Do not throw batteries into a re, doing so may cause explosion.
Check with local authorities rst for battery disposal instructions.

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

T1125 SERIES USER’S MANUAL

• When traveling, do not check your notebook as baggage. You
can put your notebook through an X-ray security machine, but
never put your notebook through a metal detector. If you have
your notebook checked by hand, be sure to have a charged
battery ready in case you are asked to turn on your notebook.

• When traveling with the hard drive removed from your notebook,
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 notebook. 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 notebook in the overhead
storage compartment where it could shift around. Do not drop
your notebook or subject it to other mechanical shocks.

• Protect your notebook, battery, and hard drive from
environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, extreme
temperature, and direct exposure to sunlight.

• When you move your notebook in environments where there
is a substantial difference of temperature or humidity level,
condensa tion may form on or within your notebook. To avoid
damaging your notebook, please allow sufcient time for the
moisture to evaporate before continuing use of the notebook.

NOTICE:Whentakingyournotebookfromacoldertoawarmerenviron-

mentorviceversa,allowyournotebookenoughtimetoadapttothenew

environmentbeforeturningonpower.

• 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, be fore you connect the power cord, make sure that
both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

• Before you clean your notebook, turn it off rst, 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.

• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak within the leakage
area.

WARNING: Voiding of the Warranty

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

plosion; 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 drive operates in high-

speed, in this case, your product warranty may be voided.

The FCC RF safety requirement

The radiated output power of the wireless LAN Mini PCI Card and
Bluetooth card is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure
limits. Nevertheless, the notebook PC series shall be used in such a

English

manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation
is minimized as follows:

Note:

The wireless Mini PCI adapter implements a transmission
diversity function. The function does not emit radio frequencies
simultaneously from both antennas. One of the antennas is
selected automatically or manually (by users) to ensure good

quality radiocommunication.

1 Users are requested to follow the RF safety instructions on wireless

IX

option devices that are included in the user's manual of each RF
option device.

Caution: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches)
must be maintained between the antenna for the integrated
wireless LAN Mini PCI Card built in to the screen section and all

persons.

2 This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the

5.15 to5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to be
used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce
the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite
systems.

3 High power radar are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35

Hzand 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause
interference with and/or damage this device.

4 An improper installation or unauthorized use may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. Also any tampering of the
internal antenna will void the FCC certication and your warranty.
