About Your Computer 9

CAUTION: Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air

vents. Do not store your Dell™ computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a

closed briefcase, while it is running. Restricting the airflow can damage the

computer or cause a fire. The computer turns on the fan when the computer gets

hot. Fan noise is normal and does not indicate a problem with the fan or the

computer.

Battery Removal

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions that shipped with your computer.

CAUTION: Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or

explosion. Replace the battery only with a compatible battery purchased from

Dell. The battery is designed to work with your Dell™ computer. Do not use a

battery from other computers with your computer.

CAUTION: Before removing or replacing the battery, turn off the computer,

disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet and the computer, disconnect

the modem from the wall connector and computer, and remove any other external
