This information can help you safely use your notebook computer. Follow and retain all information included

that comes with your computer.

Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and effective. However, personal

computers are electronic devices. Power cords, power adapters, and other features can create potential

safety risks that can result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce these risks,

follow the instructions included with your product, observe all warnings on the product and in the operating

instructions, and review the information included in this document carefully. By carefully following the

information contained in this document and provided with your product, you can help protect yourself from

hazards and create a safer computer work environment.

Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In addition to notebook

computers, some products (such as speakers and monitors) ship with external power adapters. If you have

such a product, this information applies to your product. In addition, computer products contain a coin-sized

internal battery that provides power to the system clock even when the computer is unplugged, so the

battery safety information applies to all computer products.

Important information about using your computer

Ensure that you follow the important tips given here to get the most use and enjoyment out of your computer.

Failure to do so might lead to discomfort or injury, or cause the computer to fail.

Protect yourself from the heat that your computer generates.

When your computer is turned on or the battery is charging, the base, the palm

rest, and some other parts may become hot. The temperature they reach

depends on the amount of system activity and the level of charge in the

battery.

Extended contact with your body, even through clothing, could cause

discomfort or even a skin burn.

• Avoid keeping your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in

contact with a hot section of the computer for any extended time.

• Periodically take hands from using the keyboard by lifting your hands from

the palm rest.
