IBM Aptiva Personal Computer
(250-0451A)                Safety Information         Faxback Doc. # 33146

The construction of the IBM Aptiva Personal Computer provides extra
protection against the risk of electrical shock.  The IBM Aptiva PC has a
power cord with a three-prong plug that is required to ground metal parts.
It is the responsibility of the person installing the computer to connect
it to a properly grounded electrical outlet.  Seek professional assistance
before using an adapter or extension cord; these devices could interrupt
the grounding circuit.

If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet that is incorrectly
connected to the building wiring, serious electrical shock could result.

FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK:

Connect your computer only to an electrical outlet of the correct voltage.
If you are unsure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using,
contact your local power company.

If your computer has cables other than the power cords, you must connect
them before plugging the power cords into an electrical outlet.  Before
removing these cables, you must first unplug the power cords from the
outlet.

If your computer has a telephone connection, do not touch the telephone
cords when there is lightning in the area.

Do not use or store the computer in an area where it can become wet.

Make sure all replacement parts have characteristics identical or
equivalent to the original parts.  Other parts may not have the same
safety features.

Personal injury or electrical shock may result if you undertake actions
other than those specifically described in this book.  This is particularly
true if you try to service or repair the power supply, monitor, or built-
in-modem.  Always refer service or repairs to qualified service personnel.

Caution:  Your computer uses lithium batteries.  There may be a risk of
          fire, explosion, or burns if the batteries are handled
          incorrectly.  To ensure safety:

          Do not recharge, disassemble, heat, or incinerate a lithium
          battery.

          Replace the battery with an identical or equivalent type
          lithium battery.

          Discard used lithium batteries according to local country
          dispositions.
