Getting Started with Your Notebook 
Ä
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or 
larger telecommunications line cord to connect a modem to the 
telephone wall jack. In Australia, the notebook must be connected to 
the Telecommunication Network through a line cord that meets the 
requirements of ACA Technical Standard TS008. 
When using your notebook with a telephone connection, always 
follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical 
shock, and injury to persons. 
■ Do not use this product with a telephone connection near 
water (for example, near a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, or 
in a wet basement). 
■ Avoid using a telephone connection (other than a cordless 
type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk 
of electrical shock from lightning. 
■ Do not use a telephone connection to report a gas leak in the 
vicinity of the leak. 
■ Use only the power cord and battery packs indicated in this 
guide. Do not dispose of battery packs in a fire. They may 
explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal 
instructions. 
■ Disconnect the modem cable before opening the notebook 
case or touching an uninsulated modem cable, jack, or 
internal component. 
■ Do not plug a modem cable or telephone cable into the 
network (LAN) receptacle.
