Risk of explosion Aircraft Risk of fire Use of this feature may be prohibited on aircraft Risk of electric shock Caution: General (Safety Instructions, continued) • Do not attempt to service the computer yourself unless you are an authorized service technician. Always follow installation instructions closely. • If you use an extension power cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension power cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable. • 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. • 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. Dell™ Inspiron™ 2600 and 2650 System Information Guide | support.dell.com • 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. • If your computer includes a 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. • PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their continuous operation. • Before you clean your computer, remove power. Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances. 6 Dell™ Inspiron™ 2600 and 2650 System Information Guide Caution: Power (Safety Instructions, continued) • Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for 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 ...
