8Contents

As you use your computer, observe the following safe-handling guidelines.

When Using Your Computer

CAUTION: Do not operate your computer with any cover(s)

(including the computer cover, filler brackets, front-panel inserts,

and so on) removed or opened.

•To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure that the voltage

selection switch is set to match the AC power available at your

location:

– 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far

Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan

– 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan

NOTE: The voltage selection switch must be set to the 115V position

even though the AC supply in Japan is 100 V.

– 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East

Also be sure that your monitor and attached devices are electrically

rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.

•To avoid shorting out your computer when disconnecting a network

cable, first unplug the cable from the network adapter on the back of

your computer, and then from the network jack. When reconnecting a

network cable to your computer, first plug the cable into the network

jack, and then into the network adapter.

•To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds

after turning off the computer before disconnecting or connecting a

non-USB device from the computer.

•To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and device power

cables into properly grounded power sources. These cables are

equipped with 3-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not

use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you

must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded

plugs.

•To help protect your computer from sudden, transient increases and

decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner,

or uninterruptible power supply.

•Be sure that nothing rests on your computer’s cables and that the

cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

•Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets

wet, contact Dell (see page 100).

•Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so

can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

•Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not

block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your

computer; do not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a

bed, sofa, or rug.

Ergonomic Computing Habits

CAUTION: Improper or prolonged keyboard use may result in

injury.

CAUTION: Viewing the monitor screen for extended periods of

time may result in eye strain.

For comfort and efficiency, observe the following ergonomic guidelines

when setting up and using your computer:

•Position your computer so that the monitor and keyboard are directly

in front of you as you work. Special shelves are available (from Dell and

other sources) to help you correctly position your keyboard.

•Set the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance (usually 510 to

610 millimeters [20 to 24 inches] from your eyes).

•Make sure the monitor screen is at eye level or slightly lower when you

are sitting in front of the monitor.
