Before Working Inside Your Tablet

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your tablet from potential damage and to help to ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure included in this document assumes that the following condition exists:

• You have read the safety information that shipped with your tablet.

WARNING: Before working inside your tablet, read the safety information that shipped with your tablet. For additional safety best practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance

△ CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

△ CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface, such as a connector on the back of the tablet.

△ CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.

△ CAUTION: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not on the cable itself. Some cables have connectors
