DELL CONFIDENTIAL – PRELIMINARY 12/2/03 - FOR PROOF ONLY
14 CAUTION: Safety Instructions
Battery
• Use only Dell™ battery modules that are approved for use with this
device. Use of other types may increase the risk of fire or explosion.
• Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other
container where metal objects (such as car keys or paper clips)
could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive
current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result
in damage to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.
• The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do not
disassemble it. Handle a damaged or leaking battery pack with
extreme care. If the battery is damaged, electrolyte may leak from
the cells and may cause personal injury.
• Keep the battery away from children.
• Do not store or leave your device or battery pack near a heat source
such as a radiator, fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-
generating appliance or otherwise expose it to temperatures in
excess of 60ºC (140ºF). When heated to excessive temperatures,
battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.
• Do not dispose of your device’s battery in a fire or with normal
household waste. Battery cells may explode. Discard a used battery
according to the manufacturer’s instructions or contact your local
waste disposal agency for disposal instructions. Dispose of a spent
or damaged battery promptly.
