Handling the AC adaptor
z Do not subject the AC adaptor to any strong impact.
Using the AC adaptor after a strong impact such as being dropped may result in 
electrocution, short circuit, or fire. 
z Use 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.
z Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder

In some cases, the driv e letters for the DVD-ROM  & CD-R/RW drive or con-
nected devices (SD memory cards, external drives, etc.) may change when 
the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive power is  turned on or off. To prevent these 
letters from changing, we recommend that you allocate the drive letter for the 
DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive from the latter half of the alphabet (e.g., L 
drive).
z At the time of purchase, the DVD- ROM & CD-R/RW drive is allocated D
