Battery Charger Setup Guide 5
CAUTION: Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect
your computer and working environment from potential damage.
General
• These safety instructions relate to the interaction between the battery charger, battery,
and AC adapter. For a complete list of computer safety information, consult the System
Information Guide or the Owner’s Manual for your computer.
• Use this battery charger only with the Dell battery modules for which it is intended. Use
with other than the approved battery modules may increase the risk of fire or explosion.
• Do not attempt to service the battery charger yourself unless you are a trained service
technician. Always follow installation instructions closely.
• If you use a power strip with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the
products plugged in to the power strip does not exceed the ampere rating of the power
strip.
• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use
it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers
or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying
case.
• The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your computer. Use care
when handling the adapter during or immediately after operation.
• Do not allow your battery charger to operate with the base resting directly on exposed skin
for extended periods of time. The surface temperature of the base will rise during normal
operation (particularly when AC power is present). Allowing sustained contact with
exposed skin can cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
• Do not use your battery charger in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink,
or swimming pool or in a wet basement
