• Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation
instructions closely.
• Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal
objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting
excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in
damage from burns.
• Be sure that nothing rests on your adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not
located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when
powering the computer or charging the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with
papers or other items that will reduce cooling. Do not use the AC adapter inside a
carrying case.
• Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub,
sink, or swimming pool or in a wet basement.
• 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.
• Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use with this com-
puter as indicated in this document. Use of another type of battery pack or
AC adapter may risk fire or explosion.
