Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and
your computer.
When Using Your Computer
CAUTION: Do not operate your portable computer for
an extended period of time with the base resting directly
on your body. With extended operation, heat can
potentially build up in the base.
Allowing sustained contact with the skin could cause
discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
z Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always
follow installation instructions closely.
z Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other
container where metal objects (such as car keys) could shortcircuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current
flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in
damage from burns.
z 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.
z Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desktop or
on the floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge
the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other
items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC
adapter while it is inside a carrying case.
z Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your
computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by
shorting out interior components.
z Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for
use with this computer. Use of another type of battery or AC
adapter may risk fire or explosion.
z Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
z Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery
recommended by the manufacturer.
z Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
z Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure
that the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the
available power source.
- 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some
Far Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan.
- 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western
Japan.
- 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far
East.
z If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure
that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the
extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the
extension cable.
z To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the
battery, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical
outlet.
z 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.
z Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode.
Check with local authorities for disposal instructions.
z When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level
surface.
z When traveling, do not check the computer as baggage. You
can put your computer through an X-ray security machine,
but never put your computer through a metal detector. If you
have the computer checked by hand, be sure to have a charged
battery available in case you are asked to turn on the
computer.
z When traveling with the hard drive removed from the
computer, wrap the drive in a non-conducting material, such
as cloth or paper. If you have the drive checked by hand, be
ready to install the drive in the computer. Your can put the
hard drive through an X-ray security machine, but never put
the drive through a metal detector.
z When traveling, do not place the computer in overhead
storage compartments where it could slide around. Do not
drop your computer or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
z Protect your computer, battery, and hard drive from
environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids,
temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
z When you move your computer between environments with
very different temperature and/or humidity ranges,
condensation may form on or within the computer. To avoid
damaging the computer, allow sufficient time for the moisture
to evaporate before using the computer.
Î NOTICE: When taking the computer from lowtemperature conditions into a warmer environment or
from high-temperature conditions into a cooler
environment, allow the computer to acclimate to room
temperature before turning on power.
z When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its
strain relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the
connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any
connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure
both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
z Before you clean your computer, turn it off, unplug it from its
power source, and remove the battery.
z Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a
memory module by its edges, not its pins.
CAUTION: 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:
z Do not use this product near water, for example, near a
bathtub, washing bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement or near a swimming pool.
z Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an
electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock
from lightning.
z Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of
the leak.
z Use only the power cord indicated in this manual.

TouchPad
The TouchPad responds to the movements and pressure of your
finger, allowing you to move the cursor around the screen, in the
same way you would with a mouse.
Place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing position.
You can use the TouchPad by moving either your right or left
thumb off the space bar and on to the TouchPad.
Gently move your thumb across the TouchPad in the direction
you want the cursor to move.
The TouchPad buttons have the same function as mouse buttons.

launching programs.
You may also select object or execute applications from icons by
double tapping. This is similar to double-clicking, but instead of
pressing the TouchPad buttons, you tap the TouchPad itself.
