Safety and Regulatory Information
You can find additional Safety Best Practices and information on REACH, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC),
Ergonomics, Transportation, and Tuners on the Regulatory Compliance page, www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, procedures, connections, or signal types other than those specified
in your documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.
CAUTION: Dell products are not certified as medical electrical equipment, and are not intended for use in
close proximity to patients or in oxygen rich environments.
•

Dell products are not designed for use in hazardous environments.

•

Dell products are not designed or intended for use in operating or calibrating medical devices.

When setting up the equipment for use:
•

Place the equipment on a hard, level surface.

•

Do not stack the equipment, place it in an enclosed space, or otherwise install it where it is subject to heated
air. The equipment should have least 10.2 cm (4 inches) of clearance on all vented sides to permit the airflow
required for proper ventilation. Restricting airflow can damage the equipment or cause overheating.

•

If your product contains a tuner, see www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance for safety instructions for tuners.

•

If your device includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum
wire size of 26 American Wire Gauge (AWG) and an FCC compliant RJ11 modular plug.
WARNING: Do not operate your equipment with any cover(s) (including tablet covers, bezels, filler
brackets, front-panel inserts, and so on) removed.

•

Do not use your equipment in a wet environment. Protect equipment from liquid intrusion.

•

Do not use damaged equipment, including exposed, frayed, or damaged power cords.

•

Do not push any objects into the air vents or openings of your equipment. Doing so can cause fire or electric
shock by shorting out interior components.

•

Do not allow your tablet or adapter to operate with the base resting directly on exposed skin for extended
periods of time. The surface temperature of the base will rise during normal operation, particularly when AC
power is present. Allowing sustained contact with exposed skin can cause discomfort or burn.

•

To remove a tablet from all power sources, turn the tablet off, and disconnect the AC adapter from the
electrical outlet.

When Working Inside Your Device
WARNING: Hazardous moving parts. Keep away
from the moving fan blades.

•

Do not attempt to service the equipment yourself,
except as explained in your Dell documentation or in
instructions otherwise provided to you by Dell. Always
follow installation and service instructions closely.

•

Internal components may become very warm
during normal operation. Before touching any
internal components, allow time for them to cool.

•

Disconnect all cables from the tablet including the
headphone cable before docking to the mobile
keyboard dock.

Check the voltage rating before you connect the equipment to an electrical outlet to ensure that the required
voltage and frequency match the available power source.
––

•

•

If your device has a manual voltage-selection switch, your voltage-selection switch on the back panel
must be manually set to operate at the correct operating voltage used in your location.

To prevent electric shock, plug the equipment power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. If the
equipment is provided with a 3-prong power cable, do not use adapter plugs that bypass the grounding
feature and do not remove the grounding feature from the plug or adapter.

Adapter Safety
•

Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for use with this device. Use of another AC adapter may
cause a fire or explosion.

•

The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your computer. Ensure adequate ventilation and
use care when handling the adapter during or immediately after operation. Do not use an auto adapter DC
power cable connected via either an automobile cigarette lighter adapter or an empower-type connector in
vehicles with high voltage (24 VDC), such as commercial transport vehicles.
