Wireless Device Operation Aboard Aircraft The use of any portable electronic transmission devices aboard aircraft is usually prohibited. Make sure the modules are OFF if you are using the computer aboard aircraft. M570RU Concise UG Vista.book Page 2 Monday, November 5, 2007 9:46 AMInstructions for Care and Operation - 3 Concise User’s Guide English Instructions for Care and Operation The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:

• Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.

• Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating element. This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.

• Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong mag- netic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
• Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget to save your work. Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost.
• Take care when using peripheral devices. Servicing Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may violate your warranty and expose you and the com- puter to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer from the power sup- ply. Then refer servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the following conditions:
• When the power cord is damaged or frayed.• If the computer has been exposed to any liquids.
• If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating instructions.
• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer. M570RU Concise UG Vista.book Page 3 Monday, November 5, 2007 9:46 AM4 - Instructions for Care and Operation Concise User’s Guide English Power Safety The computer has specific power requirements:

• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.

• Your AC/DC adapter may be designed for international travel but it still requires a steady, uninterrupted power supply. If you are unsure of your local power specifications, consult your service representative or local power company.

• The AC/DC adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong is an important safety fea- ture; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.

• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not by its wire.

• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total current load of all the connected devices.

• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies. Cleaning Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer, use a soft clean cloth. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.

Power Safety Warning Before you undertake any upgrade procedures, make sure that you have turned off the power, and disconnected all peripherals and cables (including telephone lines). It is advisable to also remove your battery in order to prevent accidentally turning the ma- chine on.Power Off Before Traveling Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a note- book which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the vent(s) to be blocked. To prevent your computer from overheating make sure nothing blocks the vent(s) while the computer is in use.

• Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.

• Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer continues to work with a damaged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may pos- sibly result in fire.

• Recharge the batteries using the notebook’s system. Incorrect recharging may make the battery explode.

• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replacement to your service representative or qual- ified service personnel.

• Keep children away from, and promptly dispose of a damaged battery. Always dispose of batteries carefully. Batteries may explode or leak if exposed to fire, or improperly handled or discarded.

• Keep the battery away from metal appliances.

• Affix tape to the battery contacts before disposing of the battery.

• Do not touch the battery contacts with your hands or metal objects.

Battery Disposal & Caution The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Digital TV Broadcast Signal The antenna is the most crucial factor in receiving a clear digital terrestrial TV broadcast signal. The passive antenna provided should provide a clear signal when placed beside a window. If the signal is not clear then you can purchase an active antenna (it should also be placed beside a window) to improve the signal. You should also check with any related government website which provides information on digital terrestrial TV coverage for your area. Note that (unlike standard analog TV) if the digital signal is weak then no picture will appear on the TV at all.
