Dell Latitude D430: Setting Up Your Media Base

Setting Up Your Media Base

CAUTION: The AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, power connectors and power

strips vary among countries. Using an incompatible cable or improperly connecting the cable to the power strip

or electrical outlet may cause fire or equipment damage.

NOTICE: Always use the Dell AC adapter that came with the media base. If you use any other commercially

available AC adapter—or the AC adapter from earlier models of Dell computers—you may damage the media base

or the computer.

NOTICE: When you disconnect the Dell AC adapter cable from the computer or media base, grasp the connector,

not the cable itself, and pull firmly but gently to avoid damaging the cable. When you wrap the AC adapter cable,

ensure that you follow the angle of the connector on the AC adapter to avoid damaging the cable.
