Guidelines for safe battery usage

This notebook uses a Lithium-ion battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet or

corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat

source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave

oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over

60°C (140°F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to leak

acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. Do not

pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into

contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical

attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the

battery, charging will not occur at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above

40 °C (104 °F).

vi

The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three

complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and

discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the

operation time becomes noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use

only approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with approved

chargers designated for this device.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery

that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can

occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or pen causes direct connection

of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like

metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a

spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may

damage the battery or the connecting object.

The capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced if the battery is left in

hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter. Always try to

keep the battery between 15 °C and 25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A device with a hot

or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully

charged. Battery performance is especially limited in temperatures well below

freezing.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also

explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please

recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

Wireless devices may be susceptible to interference from the battery, which

could affect performance.

Replacing the battery pack

The notebook uses lithium batteries. Replace the battery with the same type as

that which came bundled with your product. Use of another battery may

present a risk of fire or explosion.

Warning! Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not

disassemble or dispose of them in fire. Keep them away from

children. Follow local regulations when disposing of used

batteries.

Additional safety information

Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of

the reach of small children.

vii

Operating environment

Warning! For safety reasons, turn off all wireless or radio

transmitting devices when using your laptop under the following

conditions. These devices may include, but are not limited to:

wireless lan (WLAN), Bluetooth and/or 3G.

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always

switch off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause

interference or danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions.

This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used normally, and it and its

antenna are positioned at least 1.5 centimeters (5/8 inches) away from your

body. It should not contain metal and you should position the device the above-

stated distance from your body. To successfully transmit data files or messages,

this device requires a good quality connection to the network. In some cases,

transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is

available. Ensure that the above separation distance instructions are followed

until the transmission is completed. Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic

materials may be attracted to the device, and persons with hearing aids should

not hold the device to the ear with the hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or

other magnetic storage media near the device, because information stored on

them may be erased.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may

interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices.

Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if

they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any

questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities when any regulations

posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities

may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF transmissions..

Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation

of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between wireless devices and a

pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These

recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and

recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers

should do the following:

• Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the

pacemaker

• Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the device is switched o. If

you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move it

.

Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing

aids. If interference occurs, consult your service provider.

systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic

antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag

systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer, or its

representative, of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added. Only

qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle.

Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any

warranty that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless

equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or

carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment

as the device, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag,

remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including

installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the

air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly

installed, and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result. Using your device

while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device before boarding an

aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the

operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be

illegal.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive

atmospheres include areas where you would normally be advised to turn off

your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire

resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device at refueling points

such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of

radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas; chemical plants;

or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive

atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include below deck

on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied

petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas where the air contains

chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders. Do not switch the

notebook on when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause

interference or danger.
