Correct usage procedures
Use ONLY the power cord, power adapter and battery pack shipped

pack that appears to be damaged or corroded.
Do NOT share an electrical outlet with other home or commercial 
appliances that draw large amounts of electricity.
If power strips are used, the load should NOT exceed the power strip’s 
input rating. Unplug the power cord if there are any cracking, hissing, 
or popping sounds, or if a strong odor comes from the computer.
