General Safety Precautions

In order to ensure your safety and the safety of your notebook, we ask 

that you carefully follow these safety precautions.

CAUTION: Using your notebook for long periods of time, with 
the base resting directly on exposed skin, can cause injury, 
burns or discomfort from the heat buildup that is generated from 
the base of your portable computer. 

●  After removing the notebook from the box, please ensure that all 

packaging materials are kept out of the reach of small children as 
they can cause a potential choking hazard. The packaging materials 
should be safely stored away in the event that it may be used again 
for safe transportation of the notebook. 

●  Ensure that the AC Adaptor and power cable are placed in a safe 

area where it cannot be tripped over or stepped on. The AC Adaptor 
should be situated in a well ventilated area and should have nothing 
resting on or covering it. 

●  Before turning on the notebook, ensure that it is placed on a level 

surface with at least 10 cm of clearance around the air vents, which 
will aid in proper cooling. 

●  Do not obstruct the air vents of the notebook and do not insert any 

foreign objects into this space. Doing this may cause a short circuit 
or may cause the CPU fan to malfunction, resulting in the risk of a 
fire or electric shock. This may eventually render permanent damage 
to the notebook.

●  Do note press or touch the display panel.  
●  Only use the AC Adaptor that is provided with the notebook or that which 

is recommended by the manufacturer. Using non-recommended or 
non-approved parts may cause damage or increase the risk of a fire 

or explosion. In the event that another AC Adaptor is required, advice 

should be sought from a GIGABYTE service agent, in order to make 
sure that the correct part is recommended. 

●  Please follow the battery installation guidelines. Incorrect installation 

of batteries may increase the risk of a fire or explosion.

●  Only replace old batteries with the same or an alternative compatible 

battery that is recommended by GIGABYTE or an authorized 
GIGABYTE Service Centre. 

●  Before connecting the notebook to the power outlet, make sure that 

the voltage rating of the AC Adaptor is compatible with the power 
specification in the country where you are located. 

●  When using an extension cord, please make sure that the total sum 

of ampere ratings for all connected devices does not exceed the 
total ampere capacity for the circuit. Please check the instructions on 
Page 18~21.

●  Before removing the battery from the notebook, make sure firstly 

that the notebook is switched off and secondly that the AC Adaptor 
is disconnected from the electrical wall socket. Once this is done, it 
would be safe to remove the battery. 

Do not carry the notebook battery, loose, in your handbag, 
backpack or pocket where loose metal objects (money, keys, 
chains, pens, etc) may be present. The metal objects can short 
circuit the terminals of the battery resulting in overheating 
that could cause a fire hazard. In the event that you need to 
transport the battery separately from the notebook, please 
place it inside an anti-static bag.
