English Safety Instructions Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your TouchNote. When Using Your T1028 TouchNote Computer CAUTION: Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with the base resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can build up in the I base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin can cause discomfort or a burn. • Do not attempt to service the TouchNote yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely. • Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can generate extremely high temperature and may cause burns to your skin. • Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on. • While you are using the computer or charging the battery, place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, like on a desktop or on the floor. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that may prevent ventilation. Also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case. • Do not insert objects into the air vent of your TouchNote computer. Doing so can cause short-circuiting and may result in fire or electrical shock. • Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are supplied by your TouchNote manufacturer. Using other types of battery or AC adapter may heighten the risk of fire or explosion. • Incorrectly placed batteries may result in an explosion. • Replace only with the same or compatible battery recommended by the manufacturer. • Please discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. • Before you connect your TouchNote to a power source, ensure that the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power source. - 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea. - 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan. - 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. • If you use an extension cord with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed its total capacity. • When removing battery from your TouchNote, first turn off the system, disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and then remove the battery. • To avoid risk of an electrical shock, do not connect or disconnect any cables, or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during a thunderstorm. • Do not throw batteries into fire, doing so may cause explosion. Check with local authorities first for battery disposal instructions. • When setting up your TouchNote for work, place it on a level surface.
