Avertissement! Risque d'explosion en cas de non respect de cette mise en garde! The CF-28 was developed based on thorough research into the real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pursuit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to innovations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration damped hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, flexible internal connections. The CF-28’s outstanding engineering has been tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810E (for vibration and shock) and IP (for dust and water) based procedures. As with any portable computer device precautions should be taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and handling procedures are recommended. Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any moisture. Avoid Radio Frequency Interference Do not place the computer near a television or radio receiver. Avoiding low-temperature burns Avoid more than casual contact with any heat producing area of the notebook computer, AC adaptor, and any option or accessory you use with it. Even low heat, if warmer than body temperature, can cause a bum, if the skin is exposed to the heat source for a long enough period of time. Avoid Magnetic Fields Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on the hard disk may be lost. Keep Small Objects Away Do not insert paper clips or other small objects into the computer. Do Not Disassemble the Computer Do not attempt to disassemble your computer. Avoid Excessive Force on the Display Do not apply excessive downward force on the display when it is completely opened, especially when plugs and/or cables are connected to the rear of the computer. # Peripherals Incorrectly using peripheral devices may lead to a decrease in performance, an increase in temperature and/or damage your computer. For more information on peripheral devices, refer to the Reference Manual. # Cables Use of an interface cable longer than 3 m {9.84 feet} is not recommended. 5 Getting Started Getting Started Read Me First Precautions (Battery Pack) Care should be exercised with regard to the following in order to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or damage.
