zWhen using the computer for the first time, do not connect any peripheral 
device except the battery pack and AC adaptor to the computer.
CAUTION
Handling the AC adaptor
zDo not subject the AC adaptor to any strong impact.

electrocution, short circuit, or fire. 
zUse only the specified AC adaptor with your computer.  Using an AC adaptor 
other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.
zProblems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder
