Important Safety Instructions

Read all of these instructions and save them for later reference. Follow

all warnings and instructions marked on the computer.

Unplug the computer before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only.

Do not spill liquid on the computer.

Do not place the computer on an unstable surface or near a radiator

or heat register.

Do not block or cover the openings in the computer’s cabinet. Do not

insert objects through the slots.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the computer’s label.

Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid

using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control

systems that regularly switch on and off.

Do not let the computer’s power cord become damaged or frayed.

If you use an extension cord with the computer, make sure the total

ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does

not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total of all

devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.

Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt

to service the computer yourself. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions.

Unplug the computer and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the

computer; if the computer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged;

if the computer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct

change in performance.

If you plan to use the computer in Germany, observe the following:

To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current

protection for this computer, the building installation must be

protected by a 16 Amp circuit breaker.

Beim Anschluß des Computers an die Netzversorgung muß

sichergestellt werden, da8 die Gebäudeinstallation mit einem

16 A Uberstromschutzschalter abgesichert ist.

Importantes instructions de sécurité

Lire attentivement les instructions suivantes et les conserver pour les

consulter en cas de besoin. Observer soigneusement tous les

avertissements et directives marques sur l’ordinateur.

Débrancher l’ordinateur avant de le nettoyer. N’utiliser qu’un chiffon

humide. Veiller à ne pas renverser de liquides sur l’appareil.

Ne pas placer l’ordinateur sur une surface instable ni près d’une

source de chaleur.

Ne pas bloquer ni couvrir les orifices d'aération de l’appareil. Ne pas

introduire d’objets dans les ouvertures.

Utiliser settlement le type de source d’alimentation électrique indiqué

sur I’étiquette.

Tout l’équipement doit âtre branché sur des prises de courant avec

contact de terre. Ne jamais utiliser une prise sur le même circuit

qu’un appareil à photocopies ou un système de contrôle de

ventilation avec commutation marche-arrêt automatique.

S'assurer que le cordon d’alimentation de l’ordinateur n’est pas

abîmé ni effiloché.

Dans le cas où on utilise un cordon de rallonge avec l’ordinateur,

s’assurer que l’intensité en ampères requise pour tous les appareils

branchés sur ce cordon ne soit pas supérieure à la capacité du cordon.

S’assurer aussi que cette intensté ne dépasse jamais la somme de 15

amperes pour l’ensemble des appareils.

Sauf dans les cas spécifiques expliqués dans ce manuel de l’usager,

ne pas essayer d’entretenir ou de réparer l’ordinateur soi-même.

N’ajuster que les commandes décrites dans les directives.

Débrancher l!ordinateur et contacter un technicien qualifié dans les

circonstances suivantes:

Si le cordon ou la prise sont abîmés; si un liquide a pénétré à

l’intérieur de l’appareil; si on a laissé tomber l’appareil ou si le boîtier

est endommagé; si l’ordinateur ne fonctionne pas normalement ou

fonctionne d'une manière très différente de l’ordinaire.

Pour utiliser l’ordinateur en Allemagne, il est nécessaire que le

bâtiment soit muni d’un disjoncteur de 16 amperes pour protéger

l’ordinateur contre les courts-circuits et le survoltage.

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

FOR AMERlCAN USERS

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio and

television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment

does cause interference to radio and

television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected

Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING

The

connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will

invalidate the FCC Certification of this device and may cause interference levels that

exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of the

user to obtain and use a shielded equipment interface cable with this

device. If this

equipment has
