About Your Computer 9

CAUTION: Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air

vents. Do not store your Dell™ computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a

closed briefcase, while it is running. Restricting the airflow can damage the

computer or cause a fire. The computer turns on the fan when the computer gets

hot. Fan noise is normal and does not indicate a problem with the fan or the

computer.

Battery Removal

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions that shipped with your computer.

CAUTION: Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or

explosion. Replace the battery only with a compatible battery purchased from

Dell. The battery is designed to work with your Dell™ computer. Do not use a

battery from other computers with your computer.

CAUTION: Before removing or replacing the battery, turn off the computer,

disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet and the computer, disconnect
