Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential
damage and to help ensure your own personal safety.
As you use your computer, observe the following safety guidelines:
Do not allow your Latitude portable computer to operate with the base resting
directly on exposed skin. With extended operation, heat can potentially build up
in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin could cause discomfort or,
eventually, a burn.
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation
instructions closely.
Do not carry a battery pack 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 cause extremely high temperatures and may result in
damage from burns.
Be sure that nothing rests on your adapters power cable and that the cable is not
located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor,
when you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the
AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use
the AC adapter inside a carrying case.
Do not use your computer in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub,
sink, or swimming pool or in a wet basement.
Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your computer. Doing so can
cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Use only the Dell PA-6 AC adapter approved for use with this computer. Use of
another AC adapter may present a risk of fire.
Use only Dell battery modules that are approved for use with this computer. Use
of other types may present a risk of fire or explosion.
To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and peripheral power cables
into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with three-
prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or
remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable,
use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged into the extension cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.

(Rev. 11/3/98) FILE LOCATION: D:\DTP\10-01682\01-03-19\773MR1s\773MReb1.fm
To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery pack, and
disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, the cable
used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum wire size of
26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.
If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, disconnect
the modem cable if an electrical storm approaches 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.
PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when
removing PC Cards after their continuous operation.
Do not dispose of your computers lithium-ion battery packs in a fire or along with
household waste. They may explode. Discard used batteries according to the
manufacturers instructions or contact you local waste disposal agency for
disposal instructions.
Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with
liquid or aerosol cleaners which may contain flammable substances.
Preparing to Work Inside Your Computer
Observe the following safety guidelines when working inside your computer.
NOTICE: The only time you should ever access the inside of your computer
is when you are installing memory modules.
NOTICE: Wait 5 seconds after turning off the computer before disconnecting
adeviceorremovingamemorymoduletohelppreventpossibledamage
to the system board.
NOTE: For full instructions, see the UsersGuide.
Turn off your computer and any attached peripherals.
Disconnect your computer and any attached peripherals from electrical outlets to
reduce the potential for personal injury or shock.
If the computer is docked, undock it.
Disconnect any peripherals attached to your computer, including telephone or
telecommunication lines.
Remove the main battery from the battery bay and, if necessary, the secondary
battery from the modular bay.
Ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal surface of an input/output (I/O)
connector on the back of the computer.
While you work, periodically touch the I/O panel to dissipate any static electricity
that might harm internal components.

General EMC Guidelines
Shielded signal cables: Using shielded cables ensures that you maintain the
appropriate EMC classification for the intended environment. For parallel printers,
a cable is available from Dell. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell on the
World Wide Web at http://www.dell.com.
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 computers electronic
components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted
metal surface on the computers I/O panel.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free
space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning
of a radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or
repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Your Dell
computer is designed to comply with applicable regulations regarding EMI.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Dell could void your
authority to operate the equipment. Additional regulatory information regarding
your computer can be found in your online UsersGuide.

Replacing the Main Battery
CAUTION: Using the wrong battery type may present a risk of fire or
explosion. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type
purchased from Dell. You can use your computer’s battery in any Latitude
C-Family computer except for the Latitude CS or CSx computers. Do not
attempt to use the battery in CS or CSx, and do not use a battery from those
computers in your computer.
NOTICE: To avoid data loss, do not replace a battery while the computer is
turned on unless the computer is connected to an electrical outlet or a
second battery is installed.
NOTICE: Only use lithium ion batteries in your computer. The computer
does not support nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

Getting Help
Dell provides a number of tools to help you if your computer does not perform as
expected. For information on these help tools, see your UsersGuide.
If you have a computer problem and are unable to access the online UsersGuide,
use the Dell Diagnostics to help you determine the cause of the problem and to help
you solve it. The diagnostics are on the ResourceCD that came with your computer.
NOTE: Run the diagnostics before you call Dells technical support because the
diagnostic tests provide information you may need when you call.
To start the diagnostics, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Undock the computer if you have it docked.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press <F2> at the start of the boot routine to access the system setup menu.
NOTE: Write down your current boot sequence in the event that you want to
restore it after running the Dell Diagnostics.
5. Select the following boot sequence.
NOTE: You can boot only from a CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD-ROM drive installed
as a fixed optical drive. You cannot boot from one of these modules installed in
the modular bay.
Boot First Device: Diskette Drive
Boot Second Device: CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive
Boot Third Device: Internal HDD
6. Insert the ResourceCD into the CD-ROM drive.
7. Turn the computer off.
8. Turn the computer on.
The computer starts and automatically begins to run the Dell Diagnostics.
9. When you have completed running the diagnostics, remove the ResourceCD
from the CD-ROM drive.
To change the boot sequence, repeat steps 1 through 6, customizing the boot
sequence to fit your needs. Then restart your computer.
When you start the diagnostics, the Dell logo screen appears, followed by a message
telling you that the diagnostics is loading. After the diagnostics loads, the
Diagnostics Menu appears.
To select an option from this menu, highlight the option and press <Enter>, or press
the key that corresponds to the highlighted letter in the option you choose.
