Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions will increase the life of the Notebook PC. Follow all precautions and

instructions. Except as described in this manual, refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Do not use

damaged power cords, accessories, or other peripherals. Do not use strong solvents such as thinners,

benzene, or other chemicals on or near the surface.

Disconnect the AC power and remove the battery pack(s) before cleaning. Wipe the

Notebook PC using a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened with a solu-

tion of nonabrasive detergent and a few drops of warm water and remove any extra

moisture with a dry cloth.

Transportation Precautions

To prepare the Notebook PC for transport, you should turn it OFF and disconnect all external

peripherals to prevent damage to the connectors. The hard disk drive’s head retracts when the power

is turned OFF to prevent scratching of the hard disk surface during transport. Therefore, you should not

transport the Notebook PC while the power is still ON. Close the display panel and check that it is

latched securely in the closed position to protect the keyboard and display panel.

Cover Your Notebook PC

CAUTION: The Notebook PC’s surface is easily dulled if not properly

cared for. Be careful not to rub or scrape the Notebook PC surfaces

when transporting your Notebook PC. You can purchase an optional

carrying case to protect it from dirt, water, shock, and scratches.

Charge Your Batteries

If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and any optional battery

packs before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as

it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge

the battery pack when the Notebook PC is in use.

Airplane Precautions

Contact your airline if you want to use the Notebook PC on the airplane. Most airlines will have

restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines will allow electronic use only between and not

during takeoffs and landings.

CAUTION! There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines

(used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walk-

ing through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people

or individual items). You can send your Notebook PC and diskettes through airport X-

ray machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your Notebook PC or

diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.
