UK MAXDATA Notebook PRO 600 IW 57 58 Important Safety Information Although the notebook is highly robust, it is not indestructible. To prevent damage from occurring, please pay attention to the following: · · · · · · Avoid exposing the notebook to strong shocks or vibrations. Keep it away from intense heat (radiators, direct sunlight). Protect the notebook from electromagnetic interference. This will also prevent data loss. Don't expose it to moisture. This is an electrical device! Be sure to use the correct power supply. Always use an approved power adapter. The power adapter requires a fluctuation-free and uninterrupted power supply. If you have any questions, consult your local electricity supply company. The power adapter must be fitted with a grounded (earthed) plug. Never pull on the cable to unplug the power supply ­ always pull the plug itself. Disconnect the external power supply (power adapter or car adapter) before cleaning the computer. · Notes on Using Batteries Only use batteries designed exclusively for use with this computer. Recharge batteries via the notebook. Do not attempt to repair faulty batteries yourself. Entrust repairs to your dealer or qualified service personnel. Keep damaged batteries away from children and dispose of them properly as soon as possible. Exercise caution in handling damaged batteries. Batteries may explode if exposed to fire or improperly handled or disposed of. The notebook is provided with a battery. The battery is recyclable. It is prohibited by law to dispose of the battery in ordinary household waste. If you have questions concerning proper disposal, consult your garbage collection service. UK MAXDATA Notebook PRO 600 IW 59 · Note on folding back the display Caution: You must not fold back the display further than 125°. Max. 125° · Note on the System Clock Battery Caution: There is a risk of explosion if batteries are replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with a battery recommended by the manufacturer or with a battery of the same type. Dispose of the battery according to the manufacturer's instructions. · Servicing Do not service your computer yourself!

Never use volatile (petroleum distillates) or scouring cleaning agents. 60 Important Safety Information Wireless LAN (wireless network - abbreviation = WLAN) Your notebook may contain a Wireless LAN module (optional). This module allows you to set up a wireless-based network, and to connect with an existing wireless network. It works according to the IEEE802.11a+b+g standard. WLAN technology allows users to set up wireless connections inside a local area (e.g. in a company or campus building, or in a public building such as an airport). WLANs can be used in temporary offices, in locations where it is not possible to set up extensive cable installations, or to extend an existing LAN so that users in different parts of a building can work at different times. There are two different ways to operate a WLAN. In fixed WLANs, wireless stations (devices with radio network cards or external modems) set up connections with wireless access points, which act as bridges between the stations and the existing network backbone. In Peer-to-Peer (ad hoc) WLANs several users can set up a temporary network within a limited area such as a conference room, without using access points, and providing there is no need to use network resources. In 1997 the IEEE confirmed the standard 802.11 for WLANs; this set a data transfer rate of 1 to 2 Mbit/s (Megabits per second). Under 802.11a+b+g, the new governing standard, the maximum data transfer rate is 54 Mbit/s over a frequency band of 2.4 or 5 GHz (Gigahertz). UK MAXDATA Notebook PRO 600 IW 61 Additional safety notes for units with wireless LAN A wireless LAN component is integrated into your Notebook. For this reason you must make sure that you comply with the following notes on safety: · · Switch off the Notebook when you are in an aircraft or while driving a car. If you are in a hospital, an operating room or close to an electronic medical system, switch off the wireless components in the Notebook! The radio waves which are transmitted could disrupt the working of the medical equipment. Keep the Notebook at least 20 cm away from a heart pacemaker, otherwise there is a risk that the radio waves could disrupt the normal working of the pacemaker. The radio waves which are transmitted could give rise to interference noise in hearing aids. When its radio components are switched on, do not place the Notebook close to inflammable gases or in an environment which could be at risk of explosion (e.g. paint shop), since the radio waves which are transmitted could set of a fire or an explosion. The range of the wireless connection depends on the environmental and other ambient conditions. When transferring data over a wireless connection, unauthorized Third Parties can also receive the data. · · · · · MAXDATA Computer GmbH is not responsible for disruptions to radio or television reception which are caused by unauthorized alterations to this unit. MAXDATA also accepts no responsibility for the replacement or the exchange of connecting cables and units which were not specified by MAXDATA Computer GmbH. The user alone is responsible for the elimination of disruptions caused by this type of unauthorized alteration; he is also responsible for the replacement or the exchange of the units. 62 Important Safety Information CE-labelling for units with wireless LAN and Bluetooth As delivered, this device complies with the requirements of the Guideline 1999/5/EG of the European Parliament and of the Council dated the 9.
