Safety and Maintenance
You can use your computer under a wide range of environmental
conditions. However, to ensure long use and continued high
performance, consider the following factors when setting up your
computer:
• Follow all warnings and instructions noted in this
documentation and in the Windows Help program.
• The first time you use your computer, we recommend that
you carefully read the Making Connections section of this
manual and initialize the battery to ensure optimum battery
performance.
• Unplug the computer from the power outlet before cleaning.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use aerosols, solvents,
or strong detergents.
• Do not use the computer near open water or other liquids.
Never spill liquid onto the computer.
• Do not place the computer in an unstable location where it
might slip or be knocked over. Serious damage could result
from a fall.
• Slots and openings in the system cabinet are for ventilation
purposes. Do not block or cover these openings or the
system could overheat. Do not use or store the computer
near a source of heat or dust.
• On the base or rear panel of this notebook, there is a label
with information on the power requirements of this system.
These requirements must be followed. If you are unsure of
your local power supply, consult your dealer or local Power
Company.
• Do not step on or place anything on the power cord.
• If you use the computer with an extension cord, ensure that
the total ampere ratings of all the devices sharing the
extension do not exceed the rating of the extension cord or
the rating of the wall outlet.
• Never push foreign objects into the computer through any of
the slots or openings. Dangerous voltages are present, which
could cause electric shock or fire, or damage sensitive
components.
viii
• For best results, use a power strip with a built-in surge
protector. Do not use inferior extension cords as this may
result in damage to your computer.
• Set the computer on a flat, stable surface. To prevent damage
to the computer’s hard disk drive, avoid using the computer
where it will be exposed to strong vibration.
