• The AC adapter may become hot during normal

operation of your computer. Use care when handling

the adapter during or immediately after operation.

• Do not allow your portable computer to operate with

the base resting directly on exposed skin for extended

periods of time. The surface temperature of the base

will rise during normal operation (particularly when AC

power is present). Allowing sustained contact with

exposed skin can cause discomfort or, eventually, a

burn.

• Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for

example, near a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool or in a

wet basement.

• If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC

Card) modem, disconnect the modem cable if an

electrical storm is approaching to avoid the remote risk

of electric shock from lightning via the telephone line.

• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do

not connect or disconnect any cables or perform

maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during

an electrical storm. Do not use your computer during

an electrical storm unless all cables have been

disconnected and the computer is operating on battery

power.

use with this computer. Use of another AC adapter may

cause a fire or explosion.

• Before you connect the computer to an electrical outlet,

check the AC adapter voltage rating to ensure that the

required voltage and frequency match the available

power source.

• To remove power from the computer, turn it off,

remove the battery pack, and disconnect the AC

adapter from the electrical outlet.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and

peripheral power cables into properly grounded power

sources. These power cables may be equipped with

three-prong plugs to provide an earth grounding

connection. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the

grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a

power extension cable, use the appropriate type, two-

prong or three-prong, to mate with the AC adapter

power cable.

• 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.

• If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use

caution when plugging the AC adapter’s power cable

into the power strip. Some power strips may allow you

to insert the plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the

power plug could result in permanent damage to your

computer, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire.

Ensure that the ground prong of the power plug is

inserted into the mating ground contact of the power

strip.

with this computer. Use of other types may increase the

risk of fire or explosion.

• Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or

other container where metal objects (such as car keys or

paper clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals.

The resulting excessive current flow can cause

extremely high temperatures and may result in damage

to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.

• The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it

improperly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged

or leaking battery pack with extreme care. If the battery

is damaged, electrolyte may leak from the cells and may

cause personal injury.

• Keep the battery away from children.

• Do not store or leave your computer or battery pack

near a heat source such as a radiator, fireplace, stove,

electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance or

otherwise expose it to temperatures in excess of 60ºC

(140ºF). When heated to excessive temperatures,

battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.

• Do not dispose of your computer’s battery in a fire or

with normal household waste. Battery cells may

explode. Discard a used battery according to the

manufacturer’s instructions or contact your local waste

disposal agency for disposal instructions. Dispose of a

spent or damaged battery promptly.

Dell™ Inspiron™ 2600 and 2650 System Information Guide 9

Caution: Air Travel (Safety Instructions, continued)

When Using Your Computer

Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to prevent damage to your

computer:

• When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.

• When traveling, do not check the computer as baggage. You can put

your computer through an X-ray security machine, but never put your

computer through a metal detector. If you have the computer checked

by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are

asked to turn on the computer.

module by its edges, not its pins.

• When preparing to remove a memory module from the system board

or disconnect a peripheral device from the computer, turn off the

computer, disconnect the AC adapter cable, and then wait 5 seconds

before proceeding to help avoid possible damage to the system board.

• Clean the display with a soft, clean cloth and commercial window

cleaner that does not contain wax or abrasives. Apply the cleaner to the

cloth; then stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving

from the top of the display to the bottom. If the display contains

grease or some other contaminant, use isopropyl alcohol instead of

commercial window cleaner.

• If your computer gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures

described in “Solving Problems” in the Owner’s Manual. If, after

following these procedures, you confirm that your computer is not

operating properly, contact Dell (see See "Contacting Dell" in the

Owner’s Manual for the appropriate contact information).

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your computer. To

prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you

touch any of your computer’s electronic components, such as a memory

module. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the

computer’s I/O panel.

As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an I/O

connector to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic

discharge (ESD):

• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping

carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing

material until you are ready to install the component. Just before

unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static

electricity from your body.

• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic

container or packaging.

• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use

antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
