Important Safety Information
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications
line cord to connect a modem to the telephone wall jack. In Australia, the
computer must be connected to the Telecommunication Network through a
line cord that meets the requirements of ACA Technical Standard TS008.
When using your notebook computer with a telephone connection, always follow
basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to
persons:
•
Do not use this product with a telephone connection near water (for example,
near a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, or in a wet basement).
•
Avoid using a telephone connection (other than a cordless type) during an
electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
•
•
Do not use a telephone connection to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this guide. Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
•
•
Disconnect the modem cable before opening the computer case or touching an
uninsulated modem cable, jack, or internal component.
Do not plug a modem cable or telephone cable into the network (LAN)
receptacle.
