The following documents are provided with your computer:

• The

Getting Started

placemat, which provides step-by-step instructions for con-

necting your computer.

NOTE: The Getting Started placemat is not available in all regions.

• The

User’s Guide,

which is an HTML document that includes descriptions of com-

puter features, instructions on installing and configuring drivers and utilities,

information on the system setup program, and instructions for attaching devices

to the connectors on your computer’s back panel. The

User’s Guide

is located on

your hard drive.

You may also have one or more of the following documents:

• Documentation updates, which are sometimes included with your computer to

describe changes to your computer or software. Always read these updates

before

consulting any other documentation because the updates often contain

the latest information.

• Operating system documentation, which is included if you ordered your operating

system software from Dell.

• Documentation included with any options you purchase separately from your

computer. This documentation includes information that you need to configure

and install these options in your Dell computer.

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential dam-

age 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 adapter’s 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.

• To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery pack, and dis-

connect 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 computer’s 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 dis-

posal instructions.

• Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with

liquid or aerosol cleaners which may contain flammable substances.

NOTE: For full instructions, see the User’s Guide.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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 com-

puter is designed to comply with applicable regulations regarding EMI. Changes

or modifications not expressly approved by Dell could void your authority to oper-

ate the equipment. Additional regulatory information regarding your computer

can be found in your online

User’s Guide

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

User’s Guide

.

If you have a computer problem and are unable to access the online

User’s Guide

, 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 Dell’s technical support because the diag-

nostic 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.
