Setup and Quick Reference Guide 7

CAUTION: Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your

computer and working environment from potential damage.

General

• Do not attempt to service the computer yourself unless you are a trained service technician. Always

follow installation instructions closely.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and device power cables into properly grounded

electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do

not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension

cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not use your computer during an electrical

storm.

• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any cables or

perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm.

• If your computer includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a

minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.

• Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet. Clean your

computer with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may

contain flammable substances.

• To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning off the computer

before disconnecting a device from the computer.

• To avoid shorting out your computer when disconnecting a network cable, first unplug the cable

from the network adapter on the back of your computer, and then from the network jack. When

reconnecting a network cable to your computer, first plug the cable into the network jack, and then

into the network adapter.

8Setup and Quick Reference Guide

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

• To help protect your computer from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power,

use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

• Ensure that nothing rests on your computer’s cables and that the cables are not located where they

can be stepped on or tripped over.

• Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric

shock by shorting out interior components.

• Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents. Avoid

placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit

or on a bed, sofa, or rug.

• Do not spill food or liquids on your computer.

• Do not use your computer during an electrical storm unless the AC adapter cable has been

disconnected from the electrical outlet.

• When you use the AC adapter to run the computer, place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such

as a desk top or on the floor.

• The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your computer. Use care when

handling the adapter during or immediately after operation.
