CAUTION: Safety Instructions (continued)

Air Travel

Certain Federal Aviation Administration regulations and/or airline-specific restrictions

may apply to the operation of your Dell computer while you are on board an aircraft. For

example, such regulations/restrictions may prohibit the use of any personal electronic

device (PED) that has the capacity for intentional transmission of radio frequency or

other electromagnetic signals while on an aircraft.

In order to best comply with all such restrictions, if your Dell portable computer is

equipped with Dell TrueMobile™ or some other wireless communication device,

please disable this device before you board the aircraft and follow all instructions

provided by airline personnel with regard to such device. See "Dell™ QuickSet

Features" in your User’s Guide for instructions on disabling wireless activity.

Additionally, the use of any PED, such as a portable computer, may be prohibited in

aircraft during certain critical phases of flight, for example, takeoff and landing. Some

airlines may further define the critical flight phase as any time the aircraft is below

3050 m (10,000 ft). Please follow the airline’s specific instructions as to when the use

of a PED is allowed.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Instructions

Use shielded signal cables to ensure that you maintain the appropriate EMC classification for

the intended environment. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell at its worldwide

website at www.dell.com.

Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your computer. To prevent static

damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s

electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted

metal surface on the computer’s input/output panel.
