Preface: FCC statement

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

(FCC) STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential in-

stallation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency en-

ergy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

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

does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to

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

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning

Use only shielded cables to

connect I/O devices to this

equipment.

You are cautioned that

changes or modifications not

expressly approved by the

manufacturer for compliance

with the above standards

could void your authority to

operate the equipment.

Preface: safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To en-

sure that does not happen, follow these suggestions:

1. Don’t drop it. Make sure it’s on a stable surface. If the computer falls, the

case and other components could be damaged.

2. Don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind

of heating element. Keep the computer out of direct sunlight.

3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transform-

ers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields. These can hinder proper

performance and damage your data.

4. Keep it dry. This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into

it, the computer could be badly damaged.

5. Be careful with power. The computer has specific power requirements.

• Only use a power adapter approved for use with this computer.

• Your AC adapter may be designed for international travel but it still requires

a steady, uninterrupted power supply. If you are unsure of your local power

specifications, consult your dealer or local power company.

• The power adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug.

The third prong is an important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you

do not have access to a compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install

one.

• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the

plug head, not by its wire.

• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the

total current load of all the connected devices.

• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any exter-

nal power supplies (i.e. AC adapter or car adapter).

Preface: battery precautions

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

Only use batteries designed for

this computer. The wrong battery

type may explode, leak or dam-

age the computer.

Recharge the batteries using

the notebook’s system. Incorrect

recharging may make the battery

pack. Refer any battery pack re-

pair or replacement to your

dealer or qualified service per-

sonnel.

teries carefully. Batteries may ex-

plode or leak if exposed to fire, or

improperly handled or discarded.

Warning

The product that you have pur-

chased contains a rechargeable

battery. The battery is recyclable. At

the end of its useful life, under vari-

ous state and local laws, it may be

illegal to dispose of this battery into

the municipal waste stream. Check

with your local solid waste officials

for details in your area for recycling

options or proper disposal.

tillates) or abrasive cleaners on any

part of the computer.

computer yourself. Doing so

may violate your warranty and

expose you and the computer to

electric shock. Refer all servicing

to authorized service personnel.

power supply. Then refer servic-

ing to qualified service personnel

under any of the following condi-

tions:

•When the power cord or AC/DC

adapter is damaged or frayed.

TRAVEL CONSIDERATIONS

PACKING

As you get ready for your trip, run

through this list to make sure the

system is ready to go:

1. Check that the battery pack and

any spares are fully charged.

2. Power off the computer and pe-

ripherals.

3. Close the display panel and make

sure it’s latched.

4. Disconnect the AC adapter and

cables. Stow them in the carrying

bag.

–The AC adapter

uses voltages

from 100 to 240

volts so you won’t

need a second

voltage adapter.

However, check

with your travel

agent to see if

you need any

socket adapters

5. Put the notebook in its carrying

bag and secure it with the bag’s

straps.

6. If you’re taking any peripherals

(e.g. a printer, mouse or digital

camera), pack them and

those

devices’adapters and/or cables.

7. Anticipate customs.

–Some jurisdictions may have im-

port restrictions or require proof of

ownership for both hardware and

software. Make sure your “papers”

are handy.

ONTHE ROAD

In addition to the general safety and

maintenance suggestions in this

preface, and Appendix B: Trouble-

shooting, keep these points in mind:

Hand-carry the notebook.

•For security, don’t let it out of your

sight. In some areas, computer

theft is very common.

•Don’t check it with “normal”lug-

gage. Baggage handlers may not

be sufficiently careful.

•Avoid knocking the computer

against hard objects.

Beware of Electromagnetic fields.

•Metal detectors & X-ray machines

These devices can damage the com-

puter, hard disk, floppy disks, LS-120

disks and other media. They may

also destroy any stored data.

–Pass your computer and disks

around the devices. Ask security offi-

cials to hand-inspect them. (You may

be asked to turn it on.)

Note: Some airports also scan luggage with

these devices.

Fly safely.

•Most airlines have regulations

about the use of computers and

other electronic devices in flight.

These restrictions are for your

safety, follow them.

•If you stow the notebook in an

overhead compartment, make

sure it’s secure. Contents may

shift and/or fall out when the

compartment is opened.

Get power where you can.

•If an electrical outlet is available,

use the AC adapter and keep

your battery(ies) charged.

Keep it dry.

•If you move quickly from a cold to

a warm location, water vapor can

condense inside the computer.

Wait a few minutes before turn-

ing it on so that any moisture can

evaporate.
