Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may violate your warranty and
expose you and the computer to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service
personnel. Unplug the computer from the power supply. Then refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under any of the following conditions:
•When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is damaged or frayed.
•If the computer has been exposed to any liquids.
•If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating instructions.
• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poisonous liquid if the
LCD panel breaks).
•If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.
Safety Information
•Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.
•Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries
in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
•Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged (e.g.
bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer continues to work with a damaged battery
in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire.
•Make sure that your computer is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag
(or any such container).
•Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power
supplies, peripherals and cables.
•Use a soft clean cloth to clean the computer, but do not apply cleaner directly to the
computer. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the
computer.
•Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replacement to your
service representative or qualified service personnel.
•Note that in computer’s featuring a raised LCD electro-plated logo, the logo is covered by
a protective adhesive. Due to general wear and tear, this adhesive may deteriorate over time
and the exposed logo may develop sharp edges. Be careful when handling the computer in
this case, and avoid touching the raised LCD electro-plated logo. Avoid placing any other
items in the carrying bag which may rub against the top of the computer during transport.
If any such wear and tear develops contact your service center.
Polymer/Lithium-Ion Battery Precautions
Note the following information which is specific to Polymer/Lithium-Ion batteries only, and
where applicable, this overrides the general battery precaution information.
•Polymer/Lithium-Ion batteries may experience a slight expansion or swelling, however this
is part of the battery’s safety mechanism and is not a cause for concern.
•Use proper handling procedures when using Polymer/Lithium-Ion batteries. Do not use
Polymer/Lithium-Ion batteries in high ambient temperature environments, and do not store
unused batteries for extended periods.
•If you are working in areas of low temperature use the AC/DC adapter to power the
computer.
