Important safety information
This information can help you safely use your notebook personal computer.
Follow and retain all information included with your computer. The information
in this document does not alter the terms of your purchase agreement or the
Lenovo® Limited Warranty.
Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and
effective. However, personal computers are electronic devices. Power cords,
power adapters, and other features can create potential safety risks that can result
in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce these
risks, follow the instructions in this document carefully. By carefully following
the information contained in this document and provided with your product,
you can help protect yourself from hazards and create a safer computer work
environment.
Conditions that require immediate action
Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product
damage is serious enough that the product should not be used again until it
has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorized servicer.
As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is
turned on. On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff
of smoke or sparks vent from your product. Or you might hear sounds like
popping, cracking or hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an
internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner.
Or, they might indicate a potential safety issue. However, do not take risks
or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself. Contact the Customer
Support Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support
phone numbers, go to the following Web site:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/phone
Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage or wear
or signs of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a
component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer Support Center
or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product
and have it repaired, if necessary.
In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if
you have any safety concerns with your product, stop using the product
and unplug it from the power source and telecommunication lines until you
can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.
vi User Guide
•Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or
power supplies that are cracked, broken, or damaged.
•Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire.
•Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a
battery, or a buildup of foreign substances on the battery.
•A cracking, hissing or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the

•The product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
•The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating
instructions.
Note: If you notice these conditions with a product (such as an extension cord)
that is not manufactured for or by Lenovo, stop using that product until you can
contact the product manufacturer for further instructions, or until you get a
suitable replacement.
Safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and
property damage.
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 make
sure 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.
© Copyright Lenovo 2015 vii
CAUTION:
Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three to five
minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.
Power cords and power adapters
DANGER
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product
manufacturer.
The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be
H05VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm2, or better. For other countries, the suitable types
shall be used accordingly.
Never wrap a power cord around a power adapter or other object. Doing
so can stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack, or
crimp. This can present a safety hazard.
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over,
or pinched by objects.
Protect power cords and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do
not leave your power cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on
floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers.
Liquids can cause a short circuit, particularly if the power cord or power
adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids also can cause gradual
corrosion of power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on a
power adapter, which can eventually result in overheating.
Ensure that all power cord connectors are securely and completely
plugged into receptacles.
Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the AC input pins
or shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the AC input
pins or anywhere on the power adapter.
viii User Guide
Extension cords and related devices
Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies,
and power strips that you use are rated to handle the electrical requirements of
the product. Never overload these devices. If power strips are used, the load
should not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more
information if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and
input ratings.
Plugs and outlets
DANGER
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end
show signs of corrosion or overheating or where the power cord appears
to have been damaged in any way.
To prevent possible overheating, do not cover the power adapter with
clothing or other objects when the power adapter is plugged into an
electrical outlet.
If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer
equipment appears to be damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until
it is replaced by a qualified electrician.
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the
manufacturer to obtain a replacement.
Do not share an electrical outlet with other home or commercial
appliances that draw large amounts of electricity; otherwise, unstable
voltage might damage your computer, data, or attached devices.
Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits
only into a grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not
defeat this safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-grounded outlet.
If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an
approved outlet adapter or to replace the outlet with one that enables this
safety feature. Never overload an electrical outlet. The overall system load
should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult an
electrician for more information if you have questions about power loads
and branch circuit ratings.

General battery notice
DANGER
Personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain a coin cell battery
to provide power to the system clock. In addition, many mobile products,
such as notebook computers, utilize a rechargeable battery pack to
provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by
Lenovo for use with your product have been tested for compatibility and
should only be replaced with approved parts.
Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or
incinerate batteries or short circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the
battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly
according to instructions included in the product documentation.
Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which
can cause gasses or flame to “vent” from the battery pack or coin cell. If
your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery
or the buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the
battery and obtain a replacement from the battery manufacturer.
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time.
For some rechargeable batteries (particularly Lithium Ion batteries),
leaving a battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk of a
battery short circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and also
can pose a safety hazard. Do not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries
completely discharge or store these batteries in a discharged state.

Chapter 2. Using your computer 17
Checking the battery status
The battery icon in the Windows notification area displays the percentage of
battery power remaining. Different computer components consume power at
different rates. The more you use the power-intensive components, the faster you
consume battery power. Because each computer user has different habits and
needs, it is difficult to predict how long a battery charge will last. There are two
main factors:
•How much energy is stored in the battery when you begin to work.
•The way you use your computer:
– How often you access the hard disk drive.
– How bright you make the computer display.
Using the AC power adapter
When you use AC power, the battery charges automatically.
The AC power adapter that comes with your computer has two basic
components:
•The transformer pack that converts AC power for use with the computer.
•The power cord that plugs into the AC outlet and into the transformer pack.
Attention: Using an improper power cord could cause severe damage to the
computer.
Connecting the AC power adapter
To connect the AC power adapter, do the following:
1. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Connect the power cord to the transformer pack.
3. Connect the AC power adapter to the AC power connector of the computer.
Tips on using the AC power adapter
Observe the following guidelines when using the AC power adapter:
•When the AC power adapter is not in use, disconnect it from the electrical
outlet.
•Do not bind the power cord tightly around the AC power adapter transformer
pack when it is connected to the transformer.
•Before you charge the battery pack, make sure that its temperature is at least
10°C (50°F).
18 User Guide
•You can charge the battery when the AC power adapter is connected to the
computer and the battery is installed. Charge it in any of the following
conditions:
– When a new battery is installed
– If the battery meter at the bottom of your display indicates a low battery
charge level
– If the battery has not been used for a long time
Attention: This computer is equipped with a built-in battery pack. If you need to
remove or replace the battery, contact your local Customer Support Center.
Charging the battery
It is recommended that you charge the battery or replace it with a charged
battery on any of the following conditions:
•The percentage of battery power remaining is low.
•The power alarm alerts you that the remaining power is low.
Maximizing the battery life
To maximize the battery life, suggest doing the following:
•Avoid battery usage or storage in low temperature or high temperature
environment.
•Enable “conservation mode” in OneKey Optimizer if you keep AC adapter
plug-in.
•Execute “gauge reset” in OneKey Optimizer every month to improve battery
capacity accuracy.
•Enable saving function in OneKey Optimizer to extend battery life.
Power saving
There are several options that you can choose to conserve power.
Putting computer into sleep mode
If you are not going to use the computer for a short time, put the computer into

Taking care of your computer
Although your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work
environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following these
important tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your computer.
Be careful about where and how you work
•Do not eat or smoke over your keyboard. Particles that fall into your keyboard
can cause damage.
•Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the risk
of suffocation from plastic bags.
•Keep your computer more than 13 cm or 5 inches away from magnets,
activated cellular phones, electrical applicances, or speakers.
•Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/41°F or
above 35°C/95°F).
•Some appliances, such as certain portable desktop fans or air purifiers,
produce negative ions. If a computer is close to such an appliance, and is
exposed for an extended time to air containing negative ions, it might become
electrostatically charged. Such a charge might be discharged through your
hands when you touch the keyboard or other parts of the computer, or
through connectors on I/O devices connected to it. Even though this kind of
electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the opposite of a discharge from your body or
clothing to the computer, it poses the same risk of a computer malfunction.
Your computer is designed and manufactured to minimize any effects of
electrostatic charge. An electrostatic charge above a certain limit, however,
increases the risk of ESD. Therefore, when using the computer close to an
appliance that produces negative ions, give special attention to the following:
•Avoid directly exposing your computer to the air from an appliance that
produces negative ions.
Chapter 6. Preventing problems 33
•Keep your computer and peripherals as far as possible from such an
appliance.
•Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic
discharge.
Note: Not all such appliances cause a significant electrostatic charge.
Be gentle with your computer
•Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the
keyboard or the palm rest.
•Do not open the display beyond 180 degrees, as this might damage the
computer hinge.
•Do not turn your computer over while the AC power adapter is plugged in.
This could break the adapter plug.
Carry your computer properly
•Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached
devices, and disconnect cords and cables.
•Before moving your computer, ensure that it is in sleep or hibernation mode,
or turned off. This prevents damage to the hard disk drive and avoids data
loss.
•When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up
or hold your computer by the display.
•Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and protection. Do
not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.

Usage environment and your health
Integrated wireless cards emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy like other
radio devices. However, the level of energy emitted is far much less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile
phones.
Due to the fact that integrated wireless cards operate within the guidelines found
in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Lenovo believes they
are safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the
consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels
and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive
research literature.
In some situation or environment, the use of integrated wireless cards may be
restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the
organization. These situations and areas may for example include:
•Using the integrated wireless cards on board of airplanes, in hospitals or near
petrol stations, blasting areas (with electro-explosive devices), medical
implants or body-worn electronic medical devices, such as pace makers.
•In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or
services is perceived or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices in a
specific organization (such as airport or hospital), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use integrated wireless cards prior to turning on the computer.
