Plugs and Sockets
The mains cable provided with your notebook comes with a sealed moulded
plug so no wiring is required.
Always use the mains cable plug provided, inserted into a standard 3-pin
power socket only. Sockets should be earthed through the wiring system of
the building and must be easily accessible.
Cables
Check the condition of all cables - and particularly mains cables - regularly.
If any are damaged, replace them immediately.
Place the notebook near to the socket to avoid trailing cables.
If you use an extension lead, make sure it is three-core and safely earthed.
Incorrect wiring can be fatal.
• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or larger UL
Listed or CSA certified Telecommunications Line cord.
• CAUTION: Always disconnect all telephone lines from the wall outlet
before servicing or disassembling the equipment.
Fuses
Always use a 5A fuse that conforms to BS1362 and is approved by ASTA
for your RM Mobile One notebook. Always keep the fuse cover on.
WARNING: Never replace a blown fuse with one of a higher rating than
the correct fuse.
Ventilation and Dust Protection
Your RM Mobile One notebook has a cooling fan outlet on the base of the
notebook. Always make sure that all the ventilation outlets are not
obstructed, to prevent your notebook from overheating.
Unused expansion slots and unused disk drive bays should always be
covered with the supplied blanking plates. This will ensure the correct
airflow inside your notebook and keep dust out. Keeping the blanking plates
in place will also prevent electromagnetic interference occurring between
your notebook and other equipment.
Note that, while hard disk drives are sealed against dust, CD-ROM drives
cannot be protected in the same way and they may be damaged if you keep
your notebook in an area that is very dusty.
