1 Introduction
Safety
Please read the information on this and the following pages. It is
important for your safety.
WARNING: Electricity is dangerous - it is vital to earth all mains-
powered equipment that is designed to be earthed. This includes
the notebook and any peripheral devices you may be using. Even if a
piece of equipment operates correctly, this is no guarantee of
electrical safety. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Hazardous voltages are exposed if the cover of the notebook is
removed.
This notebook is designed to meet EN60950, BS7002 and IEC950
safety standards, which apply to information technology equipment,
including electrical business equipment.
RM products comply fully with the European
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(89/336/EEC)
The relevant standards are EN50082-1 and EN55022 and these
refer to:
_ Protection from spurious mains power interference
_ Immunity from external radio frequency interference
_ Safeguards against static discharges (ESD)
_ Reduced radio frequency emission from PCs
This product complies with UL60950-1 1st Edition
2003 Specification for Information Technology
Equipment
Plugs and Sockets
The mains cable provided with your notebook comes with a sealed
moulded plug so no wiring is required.
Always use the mains cable plug provided,
inserted into a standard
3-pin power socket only
. Sockets should be earthed through the
wiring system of the building and must be easily accessible.
Cables
Check the condition of all cables - and particularly mains cables -
regularly. If any are damaged, replace them immediately.
Place the notebook near to the socket to avoid trailing cables.
If you use an extension lead, make sure it is three-core and safely
earthed. Incorrect wiring can be fatal.
•CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or
larger UL Listed or CSA certified Telecommunications Line
cord.
•CAUTION – Always disconnect all telephone lines from the wall
outlet before servicing or disassembling the equipment.
Ventilation and Dust Protection
Your RM Mobile One 945 notebook has a cooling fan outlet on the
base of the notebook. Always make sure that all the ventilation
outlets are not obstructed, to prevent your notebook from
overheating.
Unused expansion slots and unused disk drive bays should always
be covered with the supplied blanking plates. This will ensure the
correct airflow inside your notebook and keep dust out. Keeping the
blanking plates in place will also prevent electromagnetic
interference occurring between your notebook and other
equipment.
Note that, while hard disk drives are sealed against dust, CD-ROM
drives cannot be protected in the same way and they may be
damaged if you keep your notebook in an area that is very dusty.
Other Precautions
The Mobile One 945 notebook is designed to be operated at
temperatures between 5°C and 35°C. It is recommended that the
unit remain below 25°C for optimal operation.
WARNING: Before adding or removing any adapter card or
peripheral, be sure to turn the notebook off and disconnect it from
the mains supply. Failure to do so could cause serious damage to
the notebook and associated components, and may cause injury to
yourself or others. Warranty claims made for defects arising from
failure to comply with this instruction will not be entertained by RM
or their suppliers of third party components.
_ Do not tamper with the power supply unit.
_ Do not move the notebook while it is switched on. If you want to
move the notebook, always switch it off and wait for a minute to
allow the hard disk(s) to stop rotating.
_ Keep the notebook cover screwed on when in use. Always replace
the cover when you have finished working within the notebook and
before you switch it back on.
•
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
•
“IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – When using your telephone
equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons including
the following:
•
Do not use this product near water for example, near a bathtub,
