Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your notebook system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your notebook is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on

commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be

turned off while traveling in an airplane. 802.11B (also known as wireless

Ethernet or Wifi) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of

devices that provide wireless communication.

Regulatory Compliance Statements v

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is

harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be

restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas

laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may

be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of

the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for

authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since

your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between

countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities

prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in

the destination country.

If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do

not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and

the system is fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way.

Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please

contact manufacturer for service.

Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See

the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical

Support for additional information.

European Telecommunication Information (for products fitted with EU-approved modems)

Marking by the symbol indicates compliance of this equipment to the Radio and Telecom Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC. Such marking is indicative that this equipment meets or exceeds the following technical standards:

CTR 21 – Attachment requirements for pan-European approval for connection to the analogue Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTNs) of TE (excluding TE supporting voice telephony services) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signaling.

Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect (pulse) or DTMF

(tone) signaling, only the performance of the DTMF signaling is subject to

regulatory requirements for correct operation. It is therefore strongly

recommended that the equipment is set to use DTMF signaling for access to

public or private emergency services. DTMF signaling also provides faster call

setup.

This equipment has been approved to Council Decision 98/482/EEC—“CTR 21” for Pan-European single terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN termination point. In the event of problems, you should contact manufacturer Technical Support.

Tips for Using Your Computer

The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your computer:

Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids

your warranty. Only an authorised manufacturer service center can replace or

add any parts inside the chassis.

• Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.

• The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent

damage, avoid touching the screen.

• Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other

options.

• Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around

components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan inside your computer runs when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent on the bottom of your computer is not blocked when the computer is in use. Occasionally check the vents and remove any accumulated dust on the outside.

• Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a

car on a hot day. Keep the computer away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage computer components. If you have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool down slowly to room temperature (with the LCD panel open) before using it.

• Do not remove the memory-module compartment door, or try to install a

memory module when the computer is on. (For information on installing memory modules, see “Installing a Memory Module” on page 68.)

• Set up your computer work area to avoid physical strain. Sit with your back

straight and supported by your chair. Adjust your chair or work table so that your arms and wrists can remain in a relaxed position, parallel with the floor. Avoid bending or twisting your wrists as you work. Your hands should “float” slightly above the keyboard. Refer to a book on office ergonomics for more information on setting up your work area.

• Take frequent breaks from working at the computer to rest your eyes and

stretch your muscles.

• Remember to save your data files frequently and to make backup copies of your

files.

8 Users Manual

Travelling with Your Computer

Air Travel

If you are travelling by air, follow these tips:

• Take the computer with you as carry-on luggage. Do not check the computer

with your baggage.

• Allow the computer and disks to go through the X-ray security devices. Do not

hand-carry disks through the walk-through metal detectors, which can cause loss of data.

• Make sure that the battery is charged or the power cord is easily accessible.

You may be required to turn on the computer for airport security personnel.

• Be prepared to turn off the computer during take off and landing.

Locking your Computer

As a precaution when you are travelling or using your computer in an unsecured area, you should keep your computer as safe as possible. An option to do this is the Security Lock System. Follow the Security Lock System manufacturers instructions for specific installation and use. The following figure shows generally how to use the lock.

Using Your Computer for the First Time 9

Handling Spills

Do not spill anything on your computer. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking around your computer. If you do spill something on your computer, turn off your computer, unplug it immediately, and do the following:

• If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the

keyboard as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD panel. Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to use it.

• If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as

much of the liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature for a full day before trying to use it.

Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the keyboard despite your

efforts to dry it.

• If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and

denatured alcohol or a proprietary LCD screen cleaner. Do not use water, window cleaner, acetone, aromatic solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.

Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your screen is damaged,

contact your authorized manufacturer’s service center for a replacement.

Storing the Computer for Long Periods

If possible, leave the power cord connected to the computer and an electrical outlet when the computer is not in use. This extends the life of the battery and keeps the battery fully charged.

If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (a month or more), you should charge the battery until it is completely full. After you have done so, remove the battery from the unit.
