CAUTION: Safety Instructions 7

CAUTION: Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect

your computer and working environment from potential damage.

General

• Do not attempt to service the computer yourself unless you are a trained service

technician. Always follow installation instructions closely.

• If you use an extension power cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere

rating of the products plugged in to the extension power cable does not exceed the

ampere rating of the extension cable.

• 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.

• Do not store your computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a carrying case or a

closed briefcase, while the computer is turned on. Restricting airflow can damage the

computer or cause a fire.

• Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling

vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer

in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.

• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use

it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers

or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying

case.

• The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your computer. Use care

when handling the adapter during or immediately after operation.

• Do not allow your portable computer to operate with the base resting directly on exposed

skin for extended periods of time. The surface temperature of the base will rise during

normal operation (particularly when AC power is present). Allowing sustained contact

with exposed skin can cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.

• Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or

swimming pool or in a wet basement

• If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, disconnect the

modem cable if an electrical storm is approaching to avoid the remote risk of electric

shock from lightning via the telephone line.

8CAUTION: Safety Instructions

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any

cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical

storm. Do not use your computer during an electrical storm unless all cables have been

disconnected and the computer is operating on battery power.

• If your computer includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be

manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-

compliant RJ-11 modular plug.

• Before you open the memory module/Mini PCI card/modem cover on the bottom of your

computer, disconnect all cables from their electrical outlets and disconnect the telephone

cable.

• If your computer has a modem RJ-11 connector and a network RJ-45 connector, insert the

telephone cable into the RJ-11 connector, not the R-45 connector.

• PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC

Cards after their continuous operation.

• Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet.

Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol

cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.

Power

• Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for use with this computer. Use of

another AC adapter may cause a fire or explosion.

• Before you connect the computer to an electrical outlet, check the AC adapter voltage

rating to ensure that the required voltage and frequency match the available power

source.

• To remove the computer from all power sources, turn the computer off, remove the

battery pack, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and device power cables into properly

grounded power sources. These power cables may be equipped with 3-prong plugs to

provide an earth grounding connection. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the

grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power extension cable, use the

appropriate type, 2-prong or 3-prong, to mate with the AC adapter power cable.

• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not

located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

CAUTION: Safety Instructions

(continued)

7T097bk1.book Page 8 Thursday, September 26, 2002 6:47 AM

CAUTION: Safety Instructions 9

• If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when plugging the AC

adapter’s power cable into the power strip. Some power strips may allow you to insert the

plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the power plug could result in permanent damage

to your computer, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire. Ensure that the ground

prong of the power plug is inserted into the mating ground contact of the power strip.

Battery

• Use only Dell™ battery modules that are approved for use with this computer. Use of

other types may increase the risk of fire or explosion.

• Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects

(such as car keys or paper clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting

excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage

to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.

• The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it.

Handle a damaged or leaking battery pack with extreme care. If the battery is damaged,

electrolyte may leak from the cells and may cause personal injury.

• Keep the battery away from children.

• Do not store or leave your computer or battery pack near a heat source such as a radiator,

fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance or otherwise expose it

to temperatures in excess of 60ºC (140ºF). When heated to excessive temperatures,

battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.

• Do not dispose of your computer’s battery in a fire or with normal household waste.

Battery cells may explode. Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer’s

instructions or contact your local waste disposal agency for disposal instructions. Dispose

of a spent or damaged battery promptly.

Air Travel

• Certain Federal Aviation Administration regulations and/or airline-specific restrictions

may apply to the operation of your Dell computer while you are on board an aircraft. For

example, such regulations/restrictions may prohibit the use of any personal electronic

device (PED) that has the capacity for intentional transmission of radio frequency or

other electromagnetic signals while on an aircraft.

– In order to best comply with all such restrictions, if your Dell portable computer is

equipped with Dell TrueMobile™ or some other wireless communication device,

please disable this device before you board the aircraft and follow all instructions

provided by airline personnel with regard to such device.

– Additionally, the use of any PED, such as a portable computer, may be prohibited in

aircraft during certain critical phases of flight, for example, takeoff and landing. Some

airlines may further define the critical flight phase as any time the aircraft is below

3050 m (10,000 ft). Please follow the airline’s specific instructions as to when the use

of a PED is allowed.

EMC Instructions

Use shielded signal cables to ensure that you maintain the appropriate EMC classification for

the intended environment. For parallel printers, a cable is available from Dell. If you prefer, you

can order a cable from Dell at its worldwide website at www.dell.com.

Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your computer. To prevent static

damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s

electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted

metal surface on the computer’s input/output panel.
