Important Safety Instructions

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

all warnings and instructions marked on the computer.

●

Turn off the computer before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only.

Do not spill liquid on the computer.

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.

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. Adjust only those controls that are covered

by the operating instructions.

When traveling by airplane, be sure to take your computer into the

passenger compartment as carry-on luggage to prevent it from being

stored in an unpressurized storage area.

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, daß die Gebäudeinstallation mit einem

16 A Überstromschutzschalter abgesichert ist.

● 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 intensité ne dépasse jamais la somme de 15

ampères 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.

● Débrancher l’ordinateur et contacter un technician qualifié dans les

circonstances suivantes:

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

fonctionne d‘une manière très difference de l’ordinaire. N‘ajuster que

les commandes décrites dans les directives.

● Pour les voyages par avion, prendre l’ordinateur avec soi dans la

cabine comme bagage à main, pour éviter qu’il soit transporté dans

une soute non pressurisée.

● 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.
