General safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and
property damage.
Service
Do not attempt to service aproduct yourself unless instructed to do so by the
Customer Support Center. Use only aservice provider who is approved to
repair your particular product.
Note: Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts
are referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo®
expressly identifies CRUs as such, and provides documentation with
instructions when it is appropriate for customers to replace those parts.
You must closely follow all instructions when performing such
replacements. Always make sure that the power is turned off and that
the product is unplugged from any power source before you attempt the
replacement. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the
Customer Support Center.
Power cords and power adapters
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product
manufacturer.
Never wrap apower cord around the 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 asafety hazard.
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or
pinched by objects.
Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave
your cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are
cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause ashort circuit, particularly if
the cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause
gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals
on the adapter which can eventually result in overheating.
Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure
that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into
receptacles.
©Copyright Lenovo 2008 vii

Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins
and/or shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input
or anywhere on the power adapter.
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.
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
If areceptacle (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 aqualified electrician.
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the
manufacturer to obtain areplacement.
Some products are equipped with athree-pronged plug. This plug fits only
into agrounded electrical outlet. This is asafety feature. Do not defeat this
safety feature by trying to insert it into anon-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.
Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible,
and located close to the equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in away
that will stress the cords.
Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully

Batteries
All personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain anon-rechargeable
coin cell battery to provide power to the system clock. In addition many
mobile products such as ThinkPad notebook PCs utilize arechargeable 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 Lenovo 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 areplacement 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 adischarged state could increase the risk of abattery short
circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose asafety
hazard. Do not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or
store these batteries in adischarged state.
Heat and product ventilation
Computers generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging.
Notebook PCs can generate asignificant amount of heat due to their compact
size. Always follow these basic precautions:
vDo not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part
of your body for an extended period when the computer is functioning or
when the battery is charging. Your computer produces some heat during
normal operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort
or, potentially, askin burn.
vDo not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable
materials or in explosive environments.
vVentilation slots, fans and/or heat sinks are provided with the product for
safety, comfort, and reliable operation. These features might inadvertently
become blocked by placing the product on abed, sofa, carpet, or other
flexible surface. Never block, cover or disable these features.
General safety guidelines ix

CD and DVD drive safety
CD and DVD drives spin discs at ahigh speed. If aCD or DVD is cracked or
otherwise physically damaged, it is possible for the disc to break apart or even
shatter when the CD drive is in use. To protect against possible injury due to
this situation, and to reduce the risk of damage to your machine, do the
following:
vAlways store CD/DVD discs in their original packaging
vAlways store CD/DVD discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct
heat sources
vRemove CD/DVD discs from the computer when not in use
vDo not bend or flex CD/DVD discs, or force them into the computer or their
packaging
vCheck CD/DVD discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or
damaged discs

This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo hardware products you
purchased for your own use and not for resale. This warranty may sometimes
be referred to as the ″Statement of Limited Warranty″(SOLW) in other
documents from Lenovo.
What this Warranty Covers
Lenovo warrants that each hardware product is free from defects in materials
and workmanship under normal use during the warranty period. The
warranty period for the product starts on the original date of purchase
specified on your invoice unless Lenovo informs you otherwise in writing. The
warranty period and type of warranty service that apply to your product are
designated below under the section titled ″Warranty Information.″
THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO
THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT,
SUCH WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW
AND ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO
WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION ON
DURATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems
When you contact aService Provider, you must follow the problem
determination and resolution procedures specified.
Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over
the telephone or through remote assistance. Your Service Provider may direct
you to download and install designated software updates.
Some problems can be resolved with areplacement part that you install
yourself (such as keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive, or port
replicator), called a″Customer Replaceable Unit″or ″CRU.″If so, your Service
Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.
If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through

will arrange for service under the type of warranty service designated for the
product under the section titled ″Warranty Information.″
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product,

your product, your sole remedy is to return the product to your place of
purchase or to Lenovo and your purchase price will be refunded.
