Important Safety Information

WARNING If you have any doubt that you can lift the PC Workstation or display

safely, do not try to move it without help.

For your safety, always connect the equipment to a grounded wall

outlet. Always use a power cord with a properly grounded plug, such

as the one provided with this equipment, or one in compliance with

your national regulations. This PC Workstation is disconnected from

the power by removing the power cord from the power outlet. This

means the PC Workstation must be located close to a power outlet that

removing the power cord from the power outlet, and any connection to

a telecommunications network. Always replace the cover on the

PC Workstation before switching it on again.

user-serviceable parts inside.

so that they can either be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally

sound way. Returned used batteries will be accepted free of charge.
