CAUTION: Safety Instructions (continued)

• To avoid shorting out your computer when disconnecting a network cable, first unplug

the cable from the network adapter on the back of your computer, and then from the

network jack. When reconnecting a network cable to your computer, first plug the cable

into the network jack, and then into the network adapter.

• To help protect your computer from sudden, transient increases and decreases in

electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply

(UPS).

• Ensure that nothing rests on your computer’s cables and that the cables are not located

where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

• Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or

electric shock by shorting out interior components.

• Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling

vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer

in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.

• Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, consult the

User’s Guide.
