Gigabyte M1405 User Manual

I

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your 

notebook.

When Using Your M1405 Notebook 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 
base. Allowing  sustained  contact  with  the  skin  can  cause 
discomfort or a possible burn.

 
•  Do not attempt to service the notebook 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 notebook 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 notebook manufacturer. Using other types of battery or AC 
adapter may heighten the risk of fire or explosion.

•  Incorrectly installed or placed batteries may result in an

explosion.

•  Replace only with the same or a compatible battery

recommended by the manufacturer.

•  Please discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's

instructions.

•  Before you connect your notebook to a power source, ensure

that the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the 
available power source.

- 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 a battery from your notebook, 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 any maintenance or reconfiguration of
this product during a thunderstorm.

•  Do not throw batteries into a fire, doing so may cause explosion.

Check with local authorities first for battery disposal instructions.

•  When setting up your notebook for work, place it on a level

surface.
