• Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for

use with this docking station. Use of another AC

adapter may cause a fire or explosion.

• Before you connect the docking station to an electrical

outlet, check the AC adapter voltage rating to ensure

that the required voltage and frequency match the

available power source.

• To remove power from the computer, turn it off and

disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and

peripheral power cables into properly grounded power

sources. These power cables may be equipped with

three-prong plugs to provide an earth grounding

connection. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the

grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a

power extension cable, use the appropriate type, two-

prong or three-prong, to mate with the AC adapter

power cable.

• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power

cable and that the cable is not located where it can be

tripped over or stepped on.

• If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use

caution when plugging the AC adapter’s power cable

into the power strip. Some power strips may allow you

to insert the plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the

power plug could result in permanent damage to your

computer, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire.

Ensure that the ground prong of the power plug is

inserted into the mating ground contact of the power

strip.

Regulatory Notices

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in

free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the

functioning of a radio navigation or other safety service or seriously

degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio

communications service. Radio communications services include but are

not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services,

radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services

(PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as

digital devices, including computers, contribute to the electromagnetic

environment.

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic

equipment to function properly together in the electronic environment.

While this computer has been designed and determined to be compliant

with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment

does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try

to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient the receiving antenna.

• Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.

• Move the computer away from the receiver.

• Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and the

receiver are on different branch circuits.

If necessary, consult a Dell Technical Support representative or an

experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Dell computers are designed, tested, and classified for their intended

electromagnetic environment. These electromagnetic environment

classifications generally refer to the following harmonized definitions:

• Class A is typically for business or industrial environments.

• Class B is typically for residential environments.
