TENTION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Although the notebook is highly robust, it is not indestructible. To prevent
damage from occurring, please pay attention to the following:
• Avoid exposing the notebook to strong shocks or vibrations.
• Keep it away from intense heat (radiators, direct sunlight).
• Protect the notebook from electromagnetic interference. This
will also prevent data loss.
• Don’t expose it to moisture. This is anelectrical device!
• Be sure to use the correct power supply.
Always use an approved power adapter.
The power adapter requires a uctuation-free and uninterrupted power supply. If you have any questions, consult your
local electricity supply company.
The power adapter must be tted with a grounded (earthed)
plug.
Never pull on the cable to unplug the power supply – always pull the plug
itself.
Disconnect the external power supply (power adapter or car adapter) before
cleaning the computer.
• Notes on Using Batteries
Only use batteries designed exclusively for use with this
computer.
Recharge batteries via the notebook.
Do not attempt to repair faulty batteries yourself. Entrust
repairs to your dealer or qualied service personnel.
Keep damaged batteries away from children and dispose of them properly as
soon as possible. Exercise caution in handling damaged batteries. Batteries
may explode if exposed to re or improperly handled or disposed of.
The notebook is provided with a battery. The battery is recyclable. It is
prohibited by law to dispose of the battery in ordinary household waste.

If you have questions concerning proper disposal, consult your garbage
collection service.
• Note on the System Clock Battery
Caution: There is a risk of explosion if batteries are replaced
incorrectly. Replace the battery only with a battery recommended by the manufacturer or with a battery of the same
type. Dispose of the battery according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Servicing
Do not service your computer yourself! You could invalidate your warranty
rights and expose yourself and the device to the risk of electrical shock. If
servicing is required, consult qualied service personnel. Disconnect the
computer from the power supply. If the following problems occur, consult
qualied service personnel:
- Power adapter or power cable is damaged or frayed.
- Liquid has entered the computer.
- Despite operating it correctly, the computer is not
functioning properly.
- The computer has been dropped or damaged.
• Cleaning
Never apply cleaning agents directly to the computer. Use only a soft, lintfree cloth. Never use volatile (petroleum distillates) or scouring cleaning
agents.

WIRELESS LAN
(wireless network- abbreviation = WLAN)
Your Notebook contains a Wireless LAN module of the type „Intel® Pro
Wireless Mini PCI“. This module allows you to set up a wireless-based network, and to connect with an existing wireless network. It works according
to the IEEE802.11b standard.
WLAN technology allows users to set up wireless connections inside a
local area (e.g. in a company or campus building, or in a public building
such as an airport). WLANs can be used in temporary ofces, in locations
where it is not possible to set up extensive cable installations, or to extend
an existing LAN so that users in different parts of a building can work at
different times.
There are two different ways to operate a WLAN.
In xed WLANs, wireless stations (devices with radio network cards or
external modems) set up connections with wireless access points, which
act as bridges between the stations and the existing network backbone. In
Peer-to-Peer (ad hoc) WLANs several users can set up a temporary network
within a limited area such as a conference room, without using access
points, and providing there is no need to use network resources.
In 1997 the IEEE conrmed the standard 802.11 for WLANs; this set a data
transfer rate of from 1 to 2 Mbit/s (Megabits per second). With 802.11b,
the new governing standard, the maximum data transfer rate is 11 Mbit/s
over a frequency band of 2.4 GHz (Gigahertz).

ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES FOR UNITS WITH WIRELESS LAN
TENTION
A wireless LAN component is integrated into your Notebook. For this reason
you must make sure that you comply with the following notes on safety:
• Switch off the Notebook when you are in an
aircraft or while driving a car.
• If you are in a hospital, an operating room or
close to an electronic medical system, switch
off the wireless components in the Notebook!
The radio waves which are transmitted could
disrupt the working of the medical equipment.
• Keep the Notebook at least 20 cm away from
a heart pacemaker, otherwise there is a risk
that the radio waves could disrupt the normal
working of the pacemaker.
• The radio waves which are transmitted could
give rise to interference noise in hearing
aids.
• When its radio components are switched on,
do not place the Notebook close to inammable gases or in an environment which could be
at risk of explosion (e.g. paint shop), since the
radio waves which are trans mitted could
set of a re or an explosion.
• The range of the wireless connection depends
on the environmental and other ambient conditions.
• When transferring data over a wireless connection, unauthorized Third Parties can also
receive the data.
