Power (Safety Instructions, continued)

Battery(SafetyInstructions,continued)

l Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool or in a wet basement.

l 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.

l 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.

l 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.

l PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their continuous

operation.

l Before you clean your computer, remove power. Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use

liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.

l Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for use with this computer. Use of another AC adapter may cause a fire or

explosion.

l 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.

l To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery pack, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical

outlet.

l To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and peripheral power cables into properly grounded power sources.

These power cables may be equipped with three-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, two-prong or three-prong, to mate with the AC adapter power cable.

l 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.

l 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.

l 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.

l 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.

l 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.

l Keep away from children.

l 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. When heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk

of fire.
