or until you get a suitable replacement.
Service and upgrades
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center or
your documentation. Only use a Service Provider who is approved to repair your particular product.
Note: Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. Upgrades typically are referred
to as options. Replacement parts approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer
Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for
customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing or
replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a
product are zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with a power cord, always ensure
that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source. If you have any
questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.
Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the
following warnings are required for your safety.
Keep fingers and other parts of your body away from hazardous, moving parts. If you suffer an injury, seek
medical care immediately.

Using headphones, earphones or a headset
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the
equalizer to maximum increases the earphone and headphone output voltage and the sound pressure level.
Therefore, to protect your hearing, adjust the equalizer to an appropriate level.
Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period of time at high volume can be dangerous if the
output of the headphone or earphone connectors do not comply with specifications of EN 50332-2. The
headphone output connector of your computer complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This specification
limits the computer’s maximum wide band true RMS output voltage to 150 mV. To help protect against
hearing loss, ensure that the headphones or earphones you use also comply with EN 50332-2 (Clause 7
limits) for a wide band characteristic voltage of 75 mV. Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-
2 can be dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.
If your Lenovo computer came with headphones or earphones in the packaging, as a set, the combination of
the headphones or earphones and the computer already complies with the specifications of EN 50332-1. If
different headphones or earphones are used, ensure that they comply with EN 50332-1 (Clause 6.5
Limitation Values). Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-1 can be dangerous due to
excessive sound pressure levels.

Glass parts notice
CAUTION:
Some parts of your product may be made of glass. This glass could break if the product is dropped on
a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it.
Stop using your product until the glass is replaced by trained service personnel.
Static electricity prevention
Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options.
Improper handling of static-sensitive parts can damage the part. When you unpack an option or CRU, do not
open the static-protective package containing the part until the instructions direct you to install it.
When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer, take the following precautions
to avoid static-electricity damage:
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, and other circuit boards by the
edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.
• Prevent others from touching components.
• When you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, touch the static-protective package containing the part
to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two
seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.
• When possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-protective packaging and install the part
without setting it down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective packaging on a smooth, level
surface and place the part on it.
• Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

42 Lenovo 14w User Guide
Basic maintenance tips
Here are some basic points about keeping your computer functioning properly:
• If possible, place your computer in a well-ventilated and dry area without direct exposure to sunshine.
• Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the risk of suffocation from plastic
bags.
• Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones, electrical appliances, or speakers
(more than 13 cm or 5 inches).
• Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/41°F or above 35°C/95°F).
• Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the keyboard or the palm rest.
• Computer display might be designed to be opened and used at a certain angle. Do not open the display
with force. Otherwise, the computer hinge might get damaged.
• Do not turn your computer over when the ac power adapter is plugged in, otherwise, it could break the
adapter plug.
• Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached devices, and disconnect
cords and cables.
• When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your computer by the
display.
• Only an authorized Lenovo repair technician should disassemble and repair your computer.
• Do not modify or tape the latches to keep the display open or closed.
• Avoid directly exposing your computer and peripherals to the air from an appliance that can produce
negative ions. Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic discharge.
Cleaning your computer
It is a good practice to clean your computer periodically to protect the surfaces and ensure trouble-free
operation.
Cleaning the computer cover: Wipe it with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. Avoid
applying liquids directly to the cover.
Cleaning the keyboard: Wipe the keys one by one with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. If
you wipe several keys at a time, the cloth might hook onto an adjacent key and possibly damage it. Avoid
spraying cleaner directly onto the keyboard. To remove any crumbs or dust from beneath the keys, you can
use a camera blower with a brush or use cool air from a hair dryer.
Cleaning the computer screen: Scratches, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet light can affect the
performance of your computer screen. Use a dry, soft lint-free cloth to wipe the screen gently. If you see a
scratchlike mark on your screen, it might be a stain. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft, dry cloth. If the
stain remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water or eyeglass cleaner, but do not apply liquids directly
to your computer screen. Ensure that the computer screen is dry before closing it.

Ergonomic information
Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort.
Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that
you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort when using
your computer.
Working in the virtual office might mean adapting to frequent changes in your environment. Adapting to the
surrounding light sources, active seating, and the placement of your computer hardware, can help you
improve your performance and achieve greater comfort.
This example shows someone in a conventional setting. Even when not in such a setting, you can follow
many of these tips. Develop good habits, and they will serve you well.
General posture: Make minor modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort caused
by long periods of working in the same position. Frequent short breaks from your work also help to prevent
minor discomfort associated with your working posture.
Display: Position the display to maintain a comfortable viewing distance of 510 mm to 760 mm (20 inches to
30 inches). Avoid glare or reflections on the display from overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep
Appendix B. Accessibility and ergonomic information 47
the display screen clean and set the brightness to levels that enable you to see the screen clearly. Press the
brightness control keys to adjust display brightness.
Head position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position.
Chair: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height adjustment. Use chair adjustments to
best suit your comfort posture.
Arm and hand position: If available, use chair arm rests or an area on your working surface to provide
weight support for your arms. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal)
position. Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys.
Leg position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.
What if you are traveling?
It might not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when you are using your computer while on
the move or in a casual setting. Regardless of the setting, try to observe as many of the tips as possible.
Sitting properly and using adequate lighting, for example, helps you maintain desirable levels of comfort and
