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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Ne pas placer l’ordinateur sur une surface instable ni pres dune

source de chaleur.

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

introduire d’objets dans les ouvertures.

Utiliser seulement le type de source d’alimentation électrique indiqué

sur l’étiquette.

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

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

qu’un appareil a photocopies ou un systeme de controle de

ventilation avec commutation marche-arret automatique.

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

abimé ni effiloché.

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

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

branches sur ce cordon ne soit pas supérieure a 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-meme.

Debrancher l’ordinateur et contacter un technicien qualifié dans les

circonstances suivantes:

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

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

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

fonctionne dune mannière très différente de l’ordinaire. N’ajuster que

les commandes décrites dans les directives.

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

batiment soit muni d’un disjoncteur de 16 amperes pour proteger

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