Storing Your iBook G4 If you are going to store your iBook for a period of time, do one of the following to prevent your iBook battery from becoming completely depleted: Â Keep the power adapter connected. Â For short-term storage, fully charge your iBook battery and store the computer in a cool, climate-controlled location. Â For long-term storage of six months or longer, charge your battery approximately halfway (50 percent) and then remove your iBook battery. Safety Instructions for Setting Up and Using Your iBook G4 Be aware of the following safety tips and warnings as you work with your iBook. Plugging In the Power Adapter Always leave space around your power adapter. Do not use this equipment in a location where airflow around the power adapter or computer is confined. Always disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery before opening the computer to perform procedures such as installing memory. Warning: Use only the power adapter that came with your iBook G4 computer. Adapters for other electronic devices (including other iBook models and other portable computers) might look similar, but they can negatively affect your computer's performance or damage your computer. Connecting a Phone Line to the Internal Modem Always disconnect the phone cord before opening the computer to perform procedures such as installing memory. Warning: Do not connect a digital phone line to the modem; the wrong type of line could damage the modem. Contact your telephone service provider if you are unsure whether you have a digital phone line. Using Connectors and Ports Never force a connector in to a port. If the connector and port don't join with reasonable ease, they probably don't match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port. 70 Appendix B Care, Use, and Safety Information
