Caution

To avoid damage to the system:

 Use the correct AC input voltage range.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

 Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis

cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing,

cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Battery:

 Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.

 Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by

the manufacturer.

 Dispose of used batteries according to the battery

manufacturers instructions.
