• Note: The illustrations in this manual might be slightly different from your hardware.

Must-read safety information

• Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.
• Note: Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center.
• Note: Do not disassemble the product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Centre. This is because dangerous levels of voltage, current, and energy are present inside the components.

Power cords and power adapters

• Never wrap a power cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack, or crimp. This can present a safety hazard.
• Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.
• Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers.
• Liquids can cause a short circuit, particularly if the cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse.
• Liquids can also cause gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on the adapter which can eventually result in overheating.
• Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles.
• Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins and/or shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the AC input or anywhere on the power adapter.
• Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion or overheating or where the power cord appears to have been damaged in any way.

Plugs and outlets

• If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer equipment appears to be damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until it is replaced by a qualified electrician.
• Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer to obtain a replacement.
• Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug.
• This plug fits only into a grounded electrical outlet.
• This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-grounded outlet.
• If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet adapter or replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature.
• Never overload an electrical outlet.
• The overall system load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
• Consult an electrician for more information if you have questions about power loads and branch circuit ratings.
• Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible, and located close to the equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way that will stress the cords.
• Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully.

Heat and product ventilation

Computers, AC power adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging. Always follow these basic precautions:

1. Do not leave your computer, AC power adapter, or accessories in contact with your lap or any part of your body for an extended period when the products are functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer, ac power adapter, and many accessories produce some heat during normal operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially, a skin burn.

2. Do not charge the battery or operate your computer, AC power adapter, or accessories near flammable materials or in explosive environments.

3. The adapter will produce a lot of heat during operation. Be sure to expose the adapter to air.
   Do not cover the adapter with anything that would prevent heat from dissipating

4. Attention:

   • Place the power adapter out of reach of children.

Power supply statement

Never remove the cover on a power supply. This is because dangerous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside the components. If you suspect that these components are faulty, please contact DONGERDI.

Notes:

1. When the adapter shuts down due to a fault it will be latched off until the fault is removed AND the adapter is disconnected from the power source for at least 10 seconds.
2. The adapter needs adequate ventilation for proper operation. It is normal for the adapter to be warm to touch during use.
   • Connecting the adapter to a standard AC electrical outlet

To use the power adapter with a standard electrical outlet, complete these steps:

1. Plug the smaller end of the AC power cord (see 1 in the illustration below).
2. Insert the large end of the cord into the standard electrical outlet, (see 2 in the illustration below).
3. Insert the smaller, tipped connector into the power connector of your notebook computer (see 3 in the illustration below). Make sure the notebook computer is charging by checking the power icon on the system tray on the computer display. The icon displays as a plug if the computer is charging or as a battery if it is not.
