6 Media Base Setup Guide
• If you use an extension power cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to
the extension power cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
• Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for use with this device. Use of another AC adapter may cause a fire or
explosion. See your User’s Guide or Owner’s Manual for AC adapter electrical ratings.
• If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when plugging the AC adapter’s power cable into the power strip.
Some power strips may allow you to insert the plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the power plug could result in
permanent damage to your device, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire. Ensure that the ground prong of the power
plug is inserted into the mating ground contact of the power strip.
• Before you connect the device to an electrical outlet, check the AC adapter voltage rating to ensure that the required voltage
and frequency match the available power source.
• To remove the computer from all power sources, turn the computer off, disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical
outlet, and remove any battery installed in the battery bay or module bay.
• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge
the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter
inside a carrying case.
• The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your computer. Use care when handling the adapter during or
immediately after operation.
• Norway and Sweden: Connect the power cable to a grounded electrical outlet only.
• Japan Only: Use only the Dell-provided AC power cable with the AC adapter. Use of any other power cable may damage the
device or AC adapter or may present risk of fire or electric shock.
Equipment Protection Instructions
Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to prevent damage to your equipment:
NOTICE: When taking the computer from low-temperature conditions into a warmer environment or from high-temperature
conditions into a cooler environment, allow the computer to acclimate to room temperature and for any condensation that may
have formed to evaporate before turning on power to avoid damage to the computer.
• Protect your device from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to
sunlight.
• Keep the device away from direct or excessive moisture and extremely hot or cold temperatures to ensure that the computer
is used within the specified operating range.
• Leave a 10.2 cm (4 in) minimum clearance on all vented sides of the device to permit the airflow required for proper
ventilation.
• Do not restrict airflow into the device by blocking any vents or air intakes.
CAUTION: When preparing your AC adapter for travel, wrap both of the cords around the adapter in the same direction as
shown in the following picture. Failure to wrap the cords in the correct direction can result in damage to the cords not covered
by the adapter warranty. Never use an AC adapter that shows signs of damage or excessive wear.
