Safety information
❑ Warning: This apparatus must be earthed. (Except the products with a 2-pin type plug.)
❑ Turning off your computer with the (power) button does not disconnect the computer
completely from mains voltage. To disconnect it completely, unplug the AC adapter or
the power cable from mains. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
❑ Opening or dismantling the main unit or any of its accessories, for whatever reason,
could lead to damages that are not covered by the guarantee.
❑ To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.
❑ To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose your computer or any of its accessories
to rain or moisture.
❑ Do not short-circuit the metal terminals of the battery pack or wet them with any liquid,
for example water, coffee or juice.
❑ Locations directly exposed to sunlight or heaters should be avoided. Internal
overheating could result in fire or damage of the unit.
❑ Do not block the air exhaust or intake vents while the computer is in operation.
❑ Blocking the air vents leads to restriction on air circulation, which can cause internal
overheating, resulting in deformation of the computer, a malfunction, or a fire hazard.
❑ Observe the following precautions to provide adequate air circulation and to ensure
normal reliable operation.
❑ Do not use the computer on any cloth-covered surfaces such as rugs, cushion or
blankets, near draperies, or on dusty surfaces that may block its air vents. Always
use the computer on flat surfaces.
❑ Do not use the computer and/or the AC adapter while covered or wrapped in cloth.
Ensure the AC adapter operates in a clear environment.
❑ Before putting your computer in a bag, make sure the computer is turned off or is
in Sleep mode, and the power indicator light is off.
❑ When holding the computer, be sure to wait until it cools down. The surface around the
air exhaust vent may be extremely hot.
❑ It is recommended that you do not use your computer directly on your lap. The
temperature of the base of the unit may rise during normal operation and over time
could result in discomfort or burns.
❑ Do not place the AC adapter in contact with your skin. Remove the AC adapter away
from your body if it becomes warm and causes discomfort.
❑ This apparatus is also designed for IT power distribution system with phase to phase
voltage 230V, for customers in Norway.
❑ Audio and picture distortion may occur if this equipment is positioned in close proximity
to any equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation.
