Air Travel
•
Certain Federal Aviation Administration regulations and/or airline-specific restrictions
may apply to the operation of your Dell device while you are on board an aircraft. For
example, such regulations/restrictions may prohibit the use of any personal electronic
device (PED) that has the capacity for intentional transmission of radio frequency or
other electromagnetic signals while on an aircraft.
–
In order to best comply with all such restrictions, if your Dell portable device is
equipped with Dell TrueMobile™ or some other wireless communication device,
please disable this device before you board the aircraft and follow all instructions
provided by airline personnel with regard to such device.
–
Additionally, the use of any PED, such as a portable device, may be prohibited in
aircraft during certain critical phases of flight, for example, takeoff and landing.
Some airlines may further define the critical flight phase as any time the aircraft
is below 3050 m (10,000 ft). Please follow the airline’s specific instructions as to
when the use of a PED is allowed.
EMC Instructions
Use shielded signal cables to ensure that you maintain the appropriate EMC classification
for the intended environment. For parallel printers, a cable is available from Dell. If you
prefer, you can order a cable from Dell at its worldwide website at www.dell.com.
Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your device. To prevent static
damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your device’s
electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted
metal surface.
