General Safety Precautions
In order to ensure your safety and the safety of your notebook, we ask
that you carefully follow these safety precautions.
CAUTION: Using your notebook for long periods of time, with
the base resting directly on exposed skin, can cause injury,
burns or discomfort from the heat buildup that is generated from
the base of your portable computer.
● After removing the notebook from the box, please ensure that all
packaging materials are kept out of the reach of small children as
they can cause a potential choking hazard. The packaging materials
should be safely stored away in the event that it may be used again
for safe transportation of the notebook.
● Ensure that the AC Adaptor and power cable are placed in a safe
area where it cannot be tripped over or stepped on. The AC Adaptor
should be situated in a well ventilated area and should have nothing
resting on or covering it.
● Before turning on the notebook, ensure that it is placed on a level
surface with at least 10 cm of clearance around the air vents, which
will aid in proper cooling.
● Do not obstruct the air vents of the notebook and do not insert any
foreign objects into this space. Doing this may cause a short circuit
or may cause the CPU fan to malfunction, resulting in the risk of a
re or electric shock. This may eventually render permanent damage
to the notebook.
● Do note press or touch the display panel.
● Only use the AC Adaptor that is provided with the notebook or
that which is recommended by the manufacturer. Using non-
recommended or non-approved parts may cause damage or increase
the risk of a re or explosion. In the event that another AC Adaptor is
required, advice should be sought from a GIGABYTE service agent,
in order to make sure that the correct part is recommended.
● Please follow the battery installation guidelines. Incorrect installation
of batteries may increase the risk of a re or explosion.
● Only replace old batteries with the same or an alternative compatible
battery that is recommended by GIGABYTE or an authorized
GIGABYTE Service Centre.
● Before connecting the notebook to the power outlet, make sure that
the voltage rating of the AC Adaptor is compatible with the power
specication in the country where you are located.
● When using an extension cord, please make sure that the total sum
of ampere ratings for all connected devices does not exceed the
total ampere capacity for the circuit. Please check the instructions on
Page 18~21.
● Before removing the battery from the notebook, make sure firstly
that the notebook is switched off and secondly that the AC Adaptor
is disconnected from the electrical wall socket. Once this is done, it
would be safe to remove the battery.
Do not carry the notebook battery, loose, in your handbag, backpack or
pocket where loose metal objects (money, keys, chains, pens, etc) may
be present. The metal objects can short circuit the terminals of the
battery resulting in overheating that could cause a re hazard. In the
event that you need to transport the battery separately from the
notebook, please place it inside an anti-static bag.
● Discard old worn out batteries according to the instructions on Page VI.
Never throw batteries into a re as this can cause an explosion.
● Never attempt to repair or service the notebook yourself. Please refer
all repairs and servicing to qualied service personnel at a GIGABYTE
Authorized Service Centre.
