Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible, and located close to the

equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way that will stress the cords.

Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully.

All IBM personal computers contain a non-rechargeable coin cell battery to provide power to the system

clock. In addition many mobile products such as ThinkPad notebook PCs utilize a rechargeable battery

pack to provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by IBM for use with your product

have been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with IBM approved parts.

Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate batteries or short

circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery

pack strictly according to instructions included in the product documentation.

Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause gasses or flame to

"vent" from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from

your battery or the buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a

replacement from the battery manufacturer.

Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For some rechargeable batteries

(particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk

of a battery short circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard.

Do not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these batteries in a discharged

state.

Computers generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging. Notebook PCs can generate a

significant amount of heat due to their compact size. Always follow these basic precautions:

• Do not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part of your body for an

extended period when the computer is functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer

produces some heat during normal operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort

or, potentially, a skin burn.

• Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or in explosive

environments.

• Ventilation slots, fans and/or heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and reliable

operation. These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,

carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover or disable these features.

CD and DVD drives spin discs at a high speed. If a CD or DVD is cracked or otherwise physically damaged,

it is possible for the disc to break apart or even shatter when the CD drive is in use. To protect against

possible injury due to this situation, and to reduce the risk of damage to your machine, do the following:

• Always store discs in their original packaging

• Always store discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources

• Remove discs from the computer when not in use

• Do not bend or flex discs, or force them into the computer or their packaging

• Check discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or damaged discs
