Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions

Please follow the instructions in this section for the safe operation of your notebook:

Do not allow small children to play unattended with electrical equipment. Children are incapable of judging potential risks properly.

Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from children. The danger of suffocation could arise in the case of misuse.

Do not open the case of the notebook, the battery or the power adaptor. When the case is open there is a danger of severe electric shock.

CD-ROM-/CDRW-/DVD-drives are Laser Class 1 devices. These lasers must remain in their sealed casing. DO NOT remove the drive covers, as exposure to the lasers may be harmful.

Do not insert objects through the slots and openings of the notebook. This may lead to electric shock, electrical short-circuit or fire that will damage your notebook.

Slots and openings in the notebook serve to ventilate it. Do not cover up these openings, because the notebook could overheat.

The notebook is not intended to be operated in a heavy industry company. Operation under extreme environmental conditions can result in damage to your notebook.

Do not operate the notebook during a thunderstorm, in order to avoid damage through lightning strike.

Never place objects on top of the notebook that would exert any pressure on the display. There is a danger that even slight pressure may break the TFT display.

There is a risk of injury if the TFT display breaks. Use protective gloves to pack up the broken pieces and contact customer service to arrange for proper disposal. It is important to thoroughly wash your hands after handling a broken TFT display. There is a chance that chemicals may have been released.

To avoid damage to the TFT Display, never open it more than 120º. Do not forcibly open it.

In order to avoid damage to the display, do not touch it with your fingers or sharp objects.

Never lift the notebook by the TFT Display; doing so could break the hinges.

Switch off your Notebook immediately or do not switch it on at all and contact customer service …

… if the power cord or the connectors attached to it are burnt or damaged. Replace the defective power cord with an original power cord. Under no circumstances may a defective power cord be repaired.

... if the housing of the Notebook is damaged or fluids have leaked into it. Have the Notebook checked by customer service first, because the Notebook may not be safely operated otherwise and there may be a life-threatening risk of electrocution!

Data Security

Attention!

Every time you update your data make back-up copies on an external storage medium. The supplier does not assume liability for data loss or damage to data storage units, and no claims can be accepted for damages resulting from the loss of data or consequential losses.

Set-Up Location

Keep your notebook and all connected peripherals away from moisture, dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure to do so can lead to Notebook malfunction or damage.

It is highly recommended you do not use the notebook outdoors.

Operate the notebook and all peripherals on a stable, balanced and vibration-free surface.

Do not leave the base of your notebook on your lap or any part of your body for a long period of time. The notebook can become very warm while it is turned on or charging and can cause discomfort or injury from heat exposure.

The device will emit heat during operation; the keyboard and the hand compartment can warm up through this. This warming is normal and harmless.

In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time. We recommend you to ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the formation of the smell. During the development of this product, we have made sure that the applicable limits are clearly fallen below.

Your notebook is not suitable for use at video workstation devices in the sense of §2 of the video workstation regulation.

4

Safety Instructions

Ambient Temperature

The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature between +41° (5° C) and +95° F (35° C) and at a relative humidity between 20% and 80% (without condensation).

When powered off, the notebook can be stored at temperatures between 32° and 140° F (0° and 60° C).

Unplug the cable during thunderstorms and make especially sure to remove the antenna cables, if present. We recommend the use of a surge protector for additional safety, in order to protect your notebook from being damaged by power peaks or lightning strikes through the power network.

Wait until the notebook has reached ambient (room) temperature before turning it on or connecting it to the power adapter. Drastic variations in temperature and humidity can create condensation within the Notebook and may cause it to shortcircuit.

For transporting the notebook keep the original packing.

Appendix

Working in Comfort

Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain proper posture.

Back – While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by the chair’s backrest in erect position or angled slightly backwards.

Arms – Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides, with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.

Wrists – Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the keyboard, mouse or trackball. They should not be bent sideways, or more than 10 degrees up or down.

Legs – Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have your seat height adjusted correctly before getting a footrest.

Head – Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid working with your head or trunk twisted.

Overall – Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.

Safety Instructions

Connecting

Pay attention to the following information, in order to connect your notebook correctly:

Power supply

Do not open the power adapter housing. When the housing is open there is a danger of severe electric shock. It contains no user-serviceable parts.

The electric outlet must be in the vicinity of the notebook and within reach of the power adapter cables.

To disconnect your notebook from the power source, or set the notebook to battery operation, remove the power cord from the notebook’s power socket.

Only use the notebook with a power adaptor operating at

AC 110-240V~/50-60 Hz. For details on power consumption, please refer to the rating plate on the rear of your notebook. If you are unsure of the type of power supply available at the point of use, ask your local power company.

Use only the supplied power cord and power adapter.

If using an extension cord, make certain that it meets your local safety requirements. If in doubt, consult an electrician.

To provide additional protection against electric shock, power surges, lightning strikes, or other electrical damage to your notebook, we recommend the use of a surge protector.

Firstly remove the plug, and then the connector of the notebook, from the power source, if you want to detach the network adapter from the mains power supply. A reverse sequence could damage the network adapter or the notebook. Always hold the connector firmly when removing it. Never pull on the power cord.

Cabling

Arrange cables so no one can walk on or trip over them.

Do not place objects on any of the cables.

To avoid damage to your Notebook, connect your peripherals (e.g., keyboard, mouse and monitor) whilst your notebook is powered off. Some devices can be connected whilst your notebook is in use. These devices usually have a USB connector. Please follow the appropriate instructions for each device.

Keep the notebook at least one meter (approximately three feet) away from high frequency and magnetic interference sources (e.g., televisions, loudspeaker cabinets, mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and/or loss of data.

Please note that only shielded cables shorter than

3 metres (9.84 ft) should be used for the LPT, COM, USB, IEEE 1394, audio, video and network interfaces with this notebook. Please use only doubly screened cables in the case of printer cables.

Do not replace the cables supplied. Only use the cable supplied with the notebook, since that cable will have been tested extensively in our laboratory.

Also only use the connection cables supplied with the devices to connect your peripherals.

Make sure that all connecting cables are connected with the respective peripheral devices, in order to avoid perturbing radiation. Remove any cables not needed.

The connection of devices is limited to equipment that complies with EN60950 “Safety of information technology equipment” or EN60065 “Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. Safety requirements”.
