Safety and EMC Instructions: Portable

Computers

The following information defines the meaning of additional symbols used

only in the Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Instructions.

Safety Instructions

General

Risk of explosion Aircraft

Risk of fire Use of this feature may be prohibited

on aircraft

Risk of electric shock

• Do not attempt to service the computer yourself unless

you are an authorized service technician. Always follow

installation instructions closely.

• If you use an extension power cable with your AC

adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the

products plugged in to the extension power cable does

not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.

• Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your

computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by

shorting out interior components.

• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk

top or on the floor, when you use it to run the computer

or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter

with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also,

do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying case.

Dell™ Latitude™ C400 System Information 7

• Do not allow your portable computer to operate with

the base resting directly on exposed skin for extended

periods of time. The surface temperature of the base

will rise during normal operation (particularly when AC

power is present). Allowing sustained contact with

exposed skin can cause discomfort or, eventually, a

burn.

• Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for

example, near a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool or in a

wet basement.

• If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC

Card) modem, disconnect the modem cable if an

electrical storm is approaching to avoid the remote risk

of electric shock from lightning via the telephone line.

• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do

not connect or disconnect any cables or perform

maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during

an electrical storm. Do not use your computer during

an electrical storm unless all cables have been

disconnected and the computer is operating on battery

power.

• If your computer includes a modem, the cable used

with the modem should be manufactured with a

minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG)

and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.

• Before you open the memory module/modem cover on

the bottom of your computer, disconnect all cables

from their electrical outlets and disconnect the

telephone cable.

• If your computer has a modem RJ11 connector and a

network RJ45 connector, insert the telephone cable into

the RJ11 connector, not the RJ45 connector.

• PC Cards may become very warm during normal

operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their

continuous operation.

Power (Safety Instructions, continued)

• Before you clean your computer, remove power. Clean

your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water.

Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may

contain flammable substances.

• Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for

use with this computer. Use of another AC adapter may

cause a fire or explosion.

• Before you connect the computer 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,

remove the battery pack, 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.
