Safety Instructions Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help ensure your own personal safety. As you use your computer, observe the following safety guidelines: · Do not allow your Latitude portable computer to operate with the base resting directly on exposed skin. With extended operation, heat can potentially build up in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin could cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn. Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely. Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from burns. Be sure that nothing rests on your adapter's power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on. Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top 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 inside a carrying case. Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool or in a wet basement. 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. Use only the Dell PA-6 AC adapter approved for use with this computer. Use of another AC adapter may present a risk of fire. Use only Dell battery modules that are approved for use with this computer. Use of other types may present a risk of fire or explosion. To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and peripheral power cables into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with threeprong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs. If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged into the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable. · · · · · · · · · · 1-2 Dell Latitude System Information (Rev. 11/3/98) FILE LOCATION: D:\Eri_DProject\Dell\Temp\413CU0s\413CUeb0.fm · · · · · · To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery pack, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet. If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) 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 RJ-11 modular plug. If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, disconnect the modem cable if an electrical storm approaches to avoid the remote risk of electric shock from lightning via the telephone line. 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. PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their continuous operation. Do not dispose of your computer's lithium-ion battery packs in a fire or along with household waste. They may explode. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturers instructions or contact you local waste disposal agency for disposal instructions. Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with liquid or aerosol cleaners which may contain flammable substances. · Preparing to Work Inside Your Computer Observe the following safety guidelines when working inside your computer. NOTICE: The only time you should ever access the inside of your computer is when you are installing memory modules. NOTICE: Wait 5 seconds after turning off the computer before disconnecting a device or removing a memory module to help prevent possible damage to the system board. NOTE: For full instructions, see the User's Guide. · · · · · · · Turn off your computer and any attached peripherals. Disconnect your computer and any attached peripherals from electrical outlets to reduce the potential for personal injury or shock. If the computer is docked, undock it. Disconnect any peripherals attached to your computer, including telephone or telecommunication lines. Remove the main battery from the battery bay and, if necessary, the secondary battery from the modular bay. Ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal surface of an input/output (I/O) connector on the back of the computer. While you work, periodically touch the I/O panel to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components. support.dell.com Dell Latitude System Information 1-3 (Rev. 11/3/98) FILE LOCATION: D:\Eri_DProject\Dell\Temp\413CU0s\413CUeb0.fm General EMC Guidelines · Shielded signal cables: Using shielded cables ensures that you maintain the appropriate EMC classification for the intended environment. For parallel printers, a cable is available from Dell Computer Corporation. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell Computer Corporation on the World Wide Web at http:// www.dell.com. Protecting against Electrostatic Discharge: Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your computer. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer's I/O panel. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Your Dell computer is designed to comply with applicable regulations regarding EMI. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Dell could void your authority to operate the equipment. Additional regulatory information regarding your computer can be found in your online User's Guide. · · 1-4 Dell Latitude System Information (Rev. 11/3/98) FILE LOCATION: D:\Eri_DProject\Dell\Temp\413CU0s\413CUeb0.fm Getting Started To set up your computer, perform the following steps: 1. 2.
