Safety Notice 4
The lithium battery can cause a fire, explosion, or
severe burn. Do not recharge it, remove its polarized
connector, disassemble it, heat it above 100°C
(212°F), incinerate it, or expose its cell contents to
water. Dispose of the battery as required by local
ordinances or regulations. Use only the battery in the
appropriate parts listing. Use of an incorrect battery
can result in ignition or explosion of the battery.

Safety Notice 5
If the LCD breaks and the fluid from inside the LCD
gets into your eyes or on your hands, immediately
wash the affected areas with water for at least 15
minutes. Seek medical care if any symptoms from the
fluid are present after washing.
Si le panneau daffichage à cristaux liquides se brise
et que vous recevez dans les yeux ou sur les mains
une partie du fluide, rincez-les abondamment pendant
au moins quinze minutes. Consultez un médecin si
des symptômes persistent après le lavage.

Safety Notice 6
To avoid shock, do not remove the plastic cover that
surrounds the lower portion of the inverter card.
Afin déviter tout risque de choc électrique, ne retirez
pas le cache en plastique protégeant la partie
inférieure de la carte dalimentation.
Aus Sicherheitsgründen die Kunststoffabdeckung, die

  Safety Information
The following section contains the safety information that
you need to be familiar with before servicing an IBM
mobile computer.
  General Safety
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

Observe good housekeeping in the area of the
machines during and after maintenance.

When lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally
between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly
or twist when...

  Electrical Safety
Observe the following rules when working on electrical
equipment.
 Important 
Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some
hand tools have handles covered with a soft material
that does not insulate you when working with live
electrical currents.
Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber
floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to
decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this
type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.

Find the room emergency...

Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand
tools for safe operational condition.

Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.

Never assume that power has been disconnected
from a circuit. First, check that it has been
powered-off.

Always look carefully for possible hazards in your
work area. Examples of these hazards are moist
floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power
surges, and missing safety grounds.

Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective
surface of a plastic...

The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a
checklist. Begin the checks with the power off, and the
power cord disconnected.
Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or
sharp edges).
2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
3. Check the power cord for:
a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition.
Use a meter to measure third-wire ground
continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the
external ground pin and frame ground.
b. The power cord should be the...

  Handling Electrostatic
Discharge-Sensitive Devices
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated
circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a
difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD
damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the
part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all
at the same charge.
 Notes 
1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they
exceed the requirements noted...

Laser compliance statement
Some IBM Personal Computer models are equipped from
the factory with a CD-ROM drive. CD-ROM drives are
also sold separately as options. The CD-ROM drive is a
laser product. The CD-ROM drive is certified in the U.S. to
conform to the requirements of the Department of Health
and Human Services 21 Code of Federal Regulations
(DHHS 21 CFR) Subchapter J for Class 1 laser products.
Elsewhere, the drive is certified to conform to the
requirements of the International Electrotechnical...
