Power Safety
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 service representative 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 quali-
fied 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
external power supplies (i.e. AC adapter or car adapter).
• Do not plug in the power cord if you are wet.
• Do not use the power cord if it is broken.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.
