•
Before you clean your equipment, disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Clean your device with a soft cloth dampened
with water. Do not use liquids or aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.
•
Clean the portable computer or monitor display with a soft, clean cloth and water. Apply the water to the cloth, then stroke
the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom. Remove moisture from the
display quickly and keep the display dry. Long-term exposure to moisture can damage the display. Do not use a commercial
window cleaner to clean your display.
CAUTION:
Do not operate your equipment with any cover(s) (including computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, front-panel
inserts, etc.) removed.
•
If your equipment does not operate normally - in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it -
unplug it immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center.
SAFETY: When Working Inside Your Device
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.
•
To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any cables, or perform maintenance or
reconfiguration of your equipment during an electrical storm.
PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their continuous operation.
SAFETY: General Power Safety
Observe the following guidelines when connecting your equipment to a power source:
•
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.
•
Your device is equipped with either an internal power source or an external adapter. For internal power sources, your device
is equipped with one of the following:
–
An auto-sensing voltage circuit - Devices with an auto-sensing voltage circuit do not have a voltage selection switch on
the back panel and automatically detect the correct operating voltage.
OR
–
A manual voltage selection switch - Devices with a voltage selection switch on the back panel must be manually set to
operate at the correct operating voltage. Set the switch to the position that most closely matches the voltage used in
your location.
NOTE:
The switch on your system may be different than the one pictured.
NOTICE:
To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage selection switch, set the switch for the voltage that
most closely matches the AC power available in your location.
For Japan, the voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position even though the AC power available in Japan is 100 V.
Also, ensure that your monitor and attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your
location.
