1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
5. Avoid using the telephone function (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
6. Do not use the telephone function to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

12. Do not leave the equipment in an unconditioned environment with a storage temperature of 60OC (140OF) or above, which may damage the equipment.
13. To prevent explosion caused by improper battery replacement, use the same or equivalent type of battery recommended by the manufacturer only.
VI
Charging the Battery Properly
Your notebook computer features a powerful, rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack. Normally, a fully charged battery delivers approx. 2 to 3 hours of battery operation for your notebook. It is very important that you enable the Power Management features under Windows XP for careful management of power consumption. The endurance will vary depending on the different notebook configurations as well as work habits. A very bright display, lots of hard disk access using the DVD drive as well as an extensive use of the WLAN adapter will increase power consumption and therefore reduce battery endurance.
1. To charge the battery, connect the power adapter to the notebook and to a wall outlet. During the charging process, the battery indicator (LED) located next to the status indicators (LEDs) will light up. If the notebook is turned off, an empty battery will take approx. 3 hours to become fully charged. The charging time will be longer if the notebook is turned on and being used. It is normal that the battery becomes warm during the charging process.
2. The battery will develop its full capacity after completing 20 charging and discharging cycles without performing any quick charging.
3. In order to maintain its full capacity, it is recommended that you fully discharge the battery from time to time. To do so, disconnect the power adapter and keep your notebook turned on until it automatically toggles to the
VII
Standby mode. Then reconnect the power adapter in order to recharge the battery.
4. As a rule the battery capacity will reduce to approx. 85% after performing 500 charging cycles.
5. Never leave the battery unused for a long period of time. All batteries are subject to self-discharge. Storing the battery for a long time may cause a low discharge status that could damage the battery. Make sure that you charge the battery from time to time (approx. every 4 weeks).
6. While charging, never exposure the battery to high temperatures (higher than 45 °C or 113 °F).
