Precautions
You can use your computer under a wide range of environmental conditions. However, to ensure long
use and continued high performance, consider the following factors when setting up your computer:
Follow all warnings and instructions noted in this documentation, including the notification
section
Follow all warnings and instructions noted in Windows Help and Support, found on the Start
Menu
The first time you use your computer, we recommend that you carefully read the section on
Power Management to familiarize yourself with basic battery information and ensure optimum
performance
WARNING! There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer's instructions
CAUTION Internal components of the Duo-Touch will be damaged if exposed to contaminants.
When dust covers, the PC card door, or the bottom access panel are open on the computer,
shield the unit from all contaminants such as liquids, rain, snow, and dust.
Unplug the computer from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do
not use aerosols, solvents, or strong detergents
Slots and openings in the computer case are for ventilation purposes. Do not block or cover these
openings or the system could overheat
There is a label on the bottom of the Duo-Touch containing information on the power
requirements of this system. These requirements must be followed. If you are unsure of your
local power supply, consult your dealer or local power company
Do not step on or place anything on the power cord
If you use the computer with an extension cord, ensure that the total ampere ratings of all the
devices sharing the extension do not exceed the rating of the extension cord or the rating of the
wall outlet
Unless instructed, never push foreign objects into the computer through any of the slots or
openings. Dangerous voltages are present, which could cause electric shock, fire, or damage
sensitive components
For best results, use a power strip with a built-in surge protector. Do not use inferior extension
cords as this may result in damage to your computer
